Mods are in the sig line

Truck has 111000 miles
Stock turbo

I had noticed this before the engine mods also

Once in a while there is some black flaky stuff on the dip stick when I check the oil. It's not metal as it isn't sticking to the pan plug magnet, I also tested with a different magnet to be sure. It is relativly hard thin little flakes of a black substance.

Could this be soot from the turbo draining back into the pan?
I wasn't real worried about it untill I realized tht idk if this crap will load up in the HPOP or if it gets filtered before that or what.

Next oil change I plan on filtering through some cheese cloth or something to see exactly how much of this stuff is actually in the oil.

Any ideas on why it is?
Thx in advance

Edit***
I just realized I should cut up my last oil filter and check the element for this junk.
