Question loose dipstick/ no boost?

So here's the deal. I seem to have a massive boost leak (all 18lbs). When I check the hoses I find nothing... I find a write-up on the tennis ball test, so I try it. My dipstick funnel and dipstick are hashed, and air is hissing back up through the tube. So I order by VIN number the tube and dipstick BUT when they arrive I notice that they do not fit snugly together. Is this normal? I had assumed the ridges on the dipstick were supposed to make contact and or seal with the funnel.

On another note it seems that the cam chain tensioner gaskets are leaking air as well. These parts have also been ordered.

Any input on the dipstick fitment or the boost leak in general are appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
