I'm sorry, I've known some dumb SOBs in my life...I've known meth heads, I've known drunks...hell, I've known Democrats...nobody I have ever met has been that stupid. I just looked at my calendar...did someone reschedule April Fools Day?

Holy crap    I've met some dumbasses, but they might just pail in comparison to these two

   this one needs to be culled from the herd 

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.

Oh man when I get done cleaning up the soda I just spit on my computer I'm gonna call up some friends and suggest this "new" trick I just read about on the intardweb.

That's gotta be a joke right?  I hope he post some pics actually showing what happened in there. That dude got like 6 pages of flaming to go over ah hahahaha

[Wermz84]

OMFG!!!    

I seriously hope that is a joke.  But I guess you can never underestimate the power of stupidity.

Read through it...yes, it is a joke.  But I still      at the comments!

[DeadlyPeace]

It'd have to be a joke. Cuz I'd hate to know that we really have people that would be that stupid.

  But I still      at the comments!

I really hope this was a joke, although I cant say much I almost dumped seafoam in my jeep without it running luckily fearofrunner was there to stop me from a total dumb Fuc* mistake.

in the vacuum system, engine oil, or gas tank? oil and gas tank its just fine to pour seafoam or b12 into with the vehicle not running (dont run it for too long with that stuff in the oil, 15 min or less) but in the vacuum system the truck has to be running to suck it in.

haha that "porting" idea is a joke if you read on there probably are people that dumb though!
