excessive crankcase pressure does not always mean a cracked piston. I had a similar issue and after a sump cleaning and PCV update no more oil out the dipstick or seeping headgasket. If you're boosting into the red it's not normal, you've got a check valve or vacuum leak somewhere. The needle should just touch the red under full load unless you have some sort of ECU upgrade.
