jwt oil pan spacer question

okay so after installing my turbo kit and getting tune. i know i put it 6 quarts of oil. went to read the dipstick and its barely registering? i didnt have this issue before the turbo and spacer install. always read the correct amount of oil. my question is do i need a new dipstick? or maybe i need 6.5 quarts because of the turbo?

and yes i searched for a few hours an read like 80 pages on here about the spacer and got nothing.

thanks for the help

Figure your car hold 5, spacer adds 1, plus the oil that remains in the lines. So 6.5 does sound reasonable. I have to put in about 6.5 because of my spacer and oil cooler.
