black shit is caused i think by the oil in the induction kit, it gets on to th ethrottle body ICV etc etc and collects dust and shit that get through the filter, this is probably whats cloggin up ya ICV< remove it give it a dam good clean, but it wont definately fix the problem the ICV might actually be at fault rather than clogged

or as he said  , didnt think the oil breather entered the inlet till way past the throttle body, this man has a tourqe tube so the breather might not even be plumbed into the system, mine never was lol,

lol, DONT reoil ya filter there was probably too much oil on it in the first place, if ya set on it, clean it with soapy water let it get bone dry and lightly oil it, the oil from induction kits bugger up the Air mass meters, air flow meters etc if there is too much
