To protect the (not so) innocent, I removed the name. This has got to be the stupidest thing I have EVER heard:

"Hey guys, I've got a 98 1.8T. I've had a k04 and chip for a while and wanted to get more performance. I was recommended to port and polish the intake and exhaust. We found out they used abrasive material to do it like gritty sand. So I got with my friend that tunes Hondas and we decided to try it ourselves. We got a bag of sandblasting sand and hooked up into the intake and started the car. We had to hold the gas so it would run. He wanted to let the engine suck in the sand through the intake so it would port it out and then push it out the ehxaust so it would port the exhaust manifold.

I was worried that it might cause problems but he figured it'd be OK as long as we didn't make boost and it get sucked in the turbo. After running the car and letting it suck in sand we got about half way through a 25 lb bag. The check engine light was on and the engine was bucking and kicking and sounding really weird. We stopped and hooked the car back up normal and took off the sand supply. We tried to start it again and it was really hard. Once started it couldn't idle and kept making weird noises. We took it out and drove it and it started to make scraping and knocking noises.

Help! Can anyone tell me what to do! My buddy only does Hondas so he doesn't know much about Audis."

 

This has to be a joke. Nobody is that stupid.

 

what a fuking idiot...he was supposed to just dump the bag of sand into the gas tank...couldnt have been any worse...

 

that's good stuff mang

 

all i have to say is WOW.

 

Mmmkay

 

Wow is right

ahahaha whata moron

 

People will do anything to gain 0.0 HP from their cars and ends up like this 0hp from you motor .

 

this is everywhere, i think its a fake

 

Thats ******* funny as hell

 

Yeah I heard of this before...while it does the PnP...it bores out the engine .050 over...reseats the rings....and for some reason the car runs lean when you also add the sand to the gas tank too..Use a finer medium though

Good joke though I have to say...my abs muscles hurt from laughing so hard and I cried like a baby...

O yeah, and if you agree with anything I said, you should never be handed a set of keys to a car EVER!!....and that's probably and understatement

 

it was fake if you guys couldnt tell
there are no pictures of the damage, im sorry but sand on a drain pan dosent prove anything.

i saw this on a nissan board a couple days ago.

 

That person is a dipshit. I donk know if it is real, but I know some people that might actually try that. If that is real and actually happened, that person should be only allowed to ride a bus for the rest of his life.

 

dont doubt somebody somewhere has tried this or something like this

 

wow......like that one guy replied to origianl thread, this helped my b18c.....

hell, i even spooled faster! (and the turbo's not on yet!!!)

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAahahahahahahahahahahahhahaahhah ahahhhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha lolololololololololololololololol ahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaahaha
