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 woulws)
* That must be the funnied 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.

What o can believe is that some actually replied to an obvious p!ss take/joke question.

First off, you let the engine suck up sand... You dont want that, when you port and polish an intake manifold, yuo take it out and do it another way, not by letting the Intake suck up 12.5 lbs of sand and expect to drive off liek nothing happened.. you ever thing about your Combustion chamber? or your spark plugs? what about your cam's???? or pistins? the sand probable went through all of that and more!!, all your sensors are gone, and you probably ruined your engine!!! haha thats what you get for listining to a honda tuner!

This story was in with the replys there somewhere..
The Ultimate Battle
Scene 1:
Dark smoke fills the scene and pump up music slowly gets louder. The
audience sees a ninja and his girlfriend eating at a super expensive
restaurant. The girlfriend is so hot that steam is coming out of her mouth
or hair. Some old idiot is sitting by the couple. The idiot is giving the
girlfriend "the eye" and popping like 16 boners. But the ninja sees the
boners and the music really pumps up. The audience knows this guy is dead
meat for sure. But out of nowhere, the old idiot pulls off his jacket to
show that he is a pirate with lasers and everything. The ninja is like yeah
right who cares and then pops the biggest boner ever, bigger than the
biggest blackest boner alive. The ninja's boner smashes the entire
restaurant. Every single one of the pirate's boners explodes while making a
whistling sound. The ninja looks back at his girlfriend. She smiles and
they pork.
