Dipstick for a single turbo build (Downpipe routed on pass. side)
I'm sort of at a road block with where and what dipstick to use for my build. I have a single Garrett GT4294 mounted in the battery tray with a 4" down pipe parallel with the drivers side valve cover. I can't get my stock dip stick to work. What have you guys used in this situation?

Some of the truck dipsticks are pretty long.

I built my headers then put the stock dip stick into place. ("into place") I looked where it needed bends and then bent it in a vise, took a few tries but ended up with a dip stick that just fit by the headers. Im guaranteed to have a more complicated setup than you, if I could get it to work you could also.
Dont over think it. If it needs a slight bend, just bend it. Just make sure your level isnt affected greatly
