ive searched here and could not find anything as well and if there is point me to the right direction
okay guys im not car technical by any means so let the bashing begin.

i only build about 2 pounds of boost in my supra. i had a few codes and now there all fixed and no more codes. ive boost leak tested it and trying to look for the leak but air is leaving from the oil dipstick...is it supposed to do that? how can you boost leak test it if it just escapes from the oil dipstick. did i hook something up backasswards or what. maybe im just being handicapped but ive searched for this leak for a while. i tested just the pipes and there holding pressure fine so its somewhere else.

Uh.. Heh. You're supposed to cap off the end of the IC piping going to the throttle body. I wonder if you've pushed out your rear main seal yet.

How will you push out the rear main seal? If you're popping off your oil dipstick, you're causing excessive crank case pressure. What happens when you cause excessive oil pressure inside a turbo center section? You normally blow out the oil seals, same rule applies.
