Default blown headgasket? please help low compression

Hi
i installed a vortech on the f22 s2k..
after 2 week ,i had issue with car..
Now the s2000 have 180 compression on all cylinder.. so pretty even but low..
dipstick pop out... loss of power...run like i would have a boost leak,but i dont have...
Car doesn't seem to make a weird sound.. run like normal...
what do you think ,guys ,that could be my problem? I don't have a leakdown tester..
It is a blown Headgasket? Piston/ring? Valve seal?! please guy help me..

on the Ecu, MAP read 14 psi at full boost like supposed,but on the boost gauge,its like if i would have a leak..it looks hard to ''make'' boost..
thanks guys

Yeah leak down test time. Boost leak wouldn't cause dipstick to pop out.
Not many places for a boost leak with sc if running the aftercooler so easy to eliminate any issues.
Sounds like a lot of blowby though if dipstick is popping out.

Did you do a compression test prior to sc install?
