Too freakin funny (and stupid) to be true!
I saw this post on a Audi forum. Gotta be a joke! But good for a laugh! 
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.

Here is the original thread... They start telling the guy to add water to the crank case to get the sand out!

They are having way to much fun over there. That thread has been going on since November.
It's more fun then the thread about the MINI owner who thought the dealer swapped out an Auto trans for a manual or some thing like that.
This is better then American Idol.

I think the kid needs a Piston Return Spring from KaleCoAuto 
What does it about society say when I'm not surprised to see this sort of uber thought out engineering?
