This is from an Audi site is this guy for real?

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.

If he's for real, then some village is missing an idiot. It would be priceless if he goes to the dealer and asks if it's still under warranty.

Nah, Googled it. It's a joke. Still good for a laugh though.

I think the problem lies in the type of sand you use. Playsand (for children's sand boxes) is ideal since it is low dust. Buy a new engine and use the correct sand.

Radiator leaks? Use cream of wheat...

It's a common trolling prank. Lots of people fall for it and get into huge fights.

This is hilarious! Ha,ha,ha,haaaa!

, couldn't help my self. Willie, you should have put this in the Humor section. Could'a used beach sand! The grains have round edges. Be a little like bead blasting. Engine might a run for another 5 min. Duh,

Who ever thought of this gag? Gotta be careful, might be someone out there who might take it to heart.

Best joke I've heard in a while. Uhh, it is a joke isn't it?

He,he.

weewillie, some of us know that you wouldnt even know a guy that would tell you he knew how to port and polish a known engine with sand,....we know this....i think

Noisy transmission or differental? Sawdust works just long enough to sell the car...

Most of the "best" stories are made up ones....
