problem with intake/TB I got the TB out to get it PNP but I am kind of worried. There is like black soot-type stuff on the back side of the TB and I looked in the intake and felt it with my finger by the opening and the same stuff is right there too. I took some pics of the TB ahead of time and I will attach them but like I said the inside of the intake is the same...this worries me. Maybe a small gasket leak or something but let me know if this is a big deal or not. The last 2 pics show the difference between the color of the front and rear of the TB.

I was thinking that I might need to get an ls6 intake but I wanted to wait until mayb next fall so I could get other mods on. TB is getting sent out monday to get PNP still.

It's pretty normal. It's a buildup from EGR and a small amount of reversion. Add all that with a lot of heat and it will bake on the throttle blade.
Not to worry though, clean it or not it won't make any difference.
