Default Potential problems using wiper fluid

I ended up stripping my greddy elbow recently when taking my nozzle and off to clean it out (which I'll post the results off in another thread) and ended up buying a bung from howerton engineering to fix it...

(They have incredibly awesome stuff there. Like the greddy of water injection)

The nozzle is situated on the elbow in a way that it almost sprays directly into the TB and while taking off my elbow I noticed something disturbing in the TB.



Now I'm guessing this is could be due to the following...

-the many miles (probaly around 2k) I've put on since I've had the kit installed
-the large amount of water/meth the HFS1 + rx7 summer puts out
-the test diagnostic mode I enabled that sprays full force when the car was off
-water/meth source I use is no good (maybe get one with less dye or mix my own or use boost juice)

Anyone have any ideas? The good part of this is that I don't think that any of the dried up dye actually goes into the engine unless a chunk of the crystallized dye breaks off and if it does, based on what I've examined, very little goes through. I think the dye crystallizes when the water/meth mist touches a super hot surface.

Anyone else experience this?

FYI, the fluid I used failed the suds test (shooked it up and I saw bubbles).
