I was told by my installer that this was normal on a SC'ed S and hears about it happening all the time?

Mine has never popped out, before or after the installation of a catch can. I hear of few S/Cd cars that do this. Popping dipsticks are in the minority even amongst S/Cd cars.

Any of the N/As fix the "popping" of the dipstick? If so, what fixed it?
, it hasn't popped out ever since.Mine pops out consistently especially when driven at high rpms or downshifting from being N/A to SC. I wouldnt worry about it much as the hood will only let it go up by a cm. I did wipe off the oil around the o-rings, but it still pops out occasionally.
Try the following one at a time till something works:
1. Wipe off the oil from the green rings at the top of the dipstick each and every time you take it out.
2. Put in a new PCV valve.
3. Get a new dipstick. (warranty?)
4. Get a new dipstick hole. (This may involve getting a new valve cover and may be covered by warranty.)
