I hate when the car gets a hot oil steam bath...
my oil dip stick keeps poping out... anyone know reasons why it would do that?
about the only reason i could see is if the crank case would be getting preasurized....

The rubber piece on the top of the dip stick gets hard after a while. Just get a new one from Mitsu. Either that or you can make a little hook to hold it it or squish the side of the tube some to hold it in better.

Pinch the top of the tube a little, with a pliers.

Actually it is a new stick.. the previous one got "fixed"
pinching the top of the tube would make it out of round hence making it tight but out of round and maybe leaking all the time.
PCV valve is that the thing on top passenger side rear of the valve cover?

Yes, that is where the PCV valve is. It is easy to take it out. When you shake it, it should rattle easily. If it is sticky, it is bad. Some good cleaner will usually clean it out (MCCC, etc).
I have never had a squished dip stick leak either.

i did a boost leak again, and i can hear oild bubles in the oil pan... that is no good...
any suggestions?
i am thinking of removing the oil return line and seeing if it stops bubling, that will isolate the turbo blown and point to something else.

Less blow-by? 
Since you're so good at sucking on things, if you sucked on the vent line coming from the valve cover your dipstick would never pop out!

Could be a blown headgasket too, but it probably is the turbo. The TB won't let a ton of air past it.

If it was the hadgasket i think i would be having bigger preasure issues wouldn't you think? aka whenever there is a detonation/compression in the cylinder my dipstick would blow out and my line would be going whacko too from the preasure?

Not usually. It is just a tiny crack in the headgasket usually and it takes a lot of time to pressurize it. I have never blown one into an oil passage, but I blew 3 into the coolant passages. It takes about 30 miles of driving to get them to show serious problems (usually).
I would check the turbo first though, that is most likely.

yeah, thats what i would of assumed as well, and i didn't notice any bubles in the overflow or if i start the car when its cold and open the cap i would be able to see some bubles at least in the water or feel the preasure whenever the compression and detonation hapens...
