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.
