Default oil dipstick

On my ls turbo, I keep burning the rubber gaskets on the oil dipstick. Then later when I boost, it blows oil on the turbo manifold. Its a turbonetics drag kit. Does anyone make a dipstick that clamps on or doesn't melt? Or should I just keep going to the junkyard for dipsticks? TIA

hmm that sucks, you could always try wrapping the manifold with something to keep the underhood temp down, and also preserve the dipstick.

I had the same prob. with mine, I bought a brand new oem dipstick and just bent it away from the manifold and haven't had a problem with it popping out or the gasket melting
