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.

 

Let me get this straight. You sucked sand directly intro your engine and thought it would help anything? Are you f***ing retarted? Why the hell you think that they put air filters on cars? I can't come up with the words.?!?!?!?!

And P.S. your friend dosen't know any thing about hondas either.

 

omg........ stop driving that thing and toe it to someone that will kick you in the nuts and take the car off your hands and go buy a honda


jesus christ man.... i think you need a new motor

 

ahahahahahahahahahahaha lollololololololololololololololol


dur dur dur

 

Is this a joke?
I cant figure out who to flame... You, or your friend. This is the most rediculous topic Audiforums has ever seen. I really hope its just a joke.

 

*sits back and waits for the hilarity to ensue*

 

The problem is, you did it wrong. You gotta do the fuel system sand blasting treatment first. 25lbs in the gas tank, and THEN 25 lbs through the intake.......... DUH.

 

i can't stop laughing

 

hahahahahaha

 

ummm.... ... . .K! yea umm.... BAHAHAHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHA HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAH!
