I'm installing my coolingmist kit and so I took off my TB elbow to tap for my dual nozzles. There was a bit of a layer of grime on my throttle plate, so I wiped it off with my thumb and noticed very very tiny metal shavings in the soot. I'm thinking it may be from the FMIC I installed several months ago. This is before I started tapping holes in my TB elbow out of the car. Any ideas what this could be and if it's a warning sign of anything, such as a turbo going bad or something? Turbo still pulls great and last I looked at the fins there were fine and no play. If it's just particles from the FMIC they look small enough to be incinerated in the engine. Still, I want to be sure it isn't something serious.
