engine swap, dip stick questions

Hello everyone, I have an odd question. My original motor was a gsl-se motor and I put a s5 non turbo 13b in the car. My question is what length is the fc dipstick. I know that my dip stick is 9.5 inches long. I just want to make sure that I have the correct length dip stick where I do not underfill or overfill the motor.

i think the FC should have a little tube pressed into the iron, and if you took that out the GSL-SE oil pan and dipstick will work. if not i think the FC dipstick would be ok?

Can anyone confirm this? If I pop out the tube that it is the same length.

The FC turbo engine has a different length than the NA engine.... other than that IDK. Just shove the correct amount of oil for the engine in the engine... then notate that spot on the dipstick (like with a notch made by a file).
