Default Deeper problems than I thought...

My dipstick blew out of the engine when running on the dyno (at 9k rpm)

I have checked the breather system and catch can setup and is all fine, the compression test came back as it should, the PCV valve is in full working order.

My car is supercharged and running 11psi.

I think it might be pressure entering the crank from elsewhere, maybe through the bearings?!

Now I am really worried its rebuild time......

Any advice / help / knowledge on this would be massively appreciated as am really worried about my car

Any ideas what It could be then? I don't want to ruin my engine and then have to pay 2K more for my build
