Mounted my ebay manifold and can't seem to get the dipstick mounted correctly. I'm leaking oil from the dipstick tube and I believe it the angle the dipstick is forced into because of the manifold! Anyone have this problem or a solution??

i have the exact same problem, just did a turbo swap with the ebay manifold and im leaking oil everywhere. cant get the dipstick in there. did you end up figuring anything out?
I had to rebend it a little to flatten out under the manifold. Another bend to make sure it seated in the pickup tube correctly, then a slight bend to up alongside the turbo. It took a couple fitments, but it finally worked out. And believe it or not, the turbo feed line was only hand tight and when pressurized was spitting oil!
I got me a fleabay manifold also and a bigger turbo and it was impossible for the tube to go where it was supposed to. I asked the same question no to long ago, so a search would have helped.
HOWEVER..
BEND THE FK OUT OF IT! get a cheap little pipe bender from vatozone, put your pipe in a vice and put some heat to it and bend and fit, bend and fit, bend and fit.

i used the stock dip stick just added a steel wire and wraped it around a bolt and tied it to the side of the turbo.
mine fit really snugg just took awhile to get it in that tight hole! lol
