This is pretty freaking hilarious! Don't try this at home though.

(From the Audi forums)
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.

First thing...His "buddy" I think isn't really his Buddy. There is no way there are TWO people on the planet that dumb that actually know each other.

Second thing,...Maybe if he drives it in reverse really fast the sand will just come back out.

I remember reading this one a while back, last year or something. The Audi one is fake, it's supposed to be copying a similar event from a different vehicle forum. Still funny as hell though.

The one that was real and funny was the kid in the SRT4 who couldn't get the oil plug off his car so he took the oil filter out and let the car run to get the oil out.

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.

Yup, just add water until it starts overflowing out of the oil cap /fill hole, and then youll be good. Just make sure to do a seafoam application when you get a chance. Thatll get any of the leftover sand out.
lmao
