pesky dipsticks

not strictly toyota, but...
my brother own a mitsubishi starion ... lots of aftermarket goodies. whenever he drives it hard, with the boost up, the dipstick has a habit of getting pushed about 3 inches up, and then proceeds to fountain oil all over the turbo
which you can imagine looks and smells foul.
any ideas on a cheap fix, or is the problem more to do with oil pressure than a dipstick?

with many new cars there is a clip that hold the dipstick in, perhaps you could look at one and make up your own version of it?

just tie it up with wire or a spring or something.

Get someone to check the breather system. The crankcase shouldn't have that much pressure.
