Mods gone wrong
« on: March 27, 2014, 01:59:37 PM »
Found this on another site   :rol:

The thread reads:

Hey guys, please help with my mods gone wrong… (Do it yourself Port and Polish on Audi)

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.




Pretty sure you need a new engine, and a new mechanic mate!   :lol:

If you reckon that's bad.  This was posted on another forum........

"Alright, after reading a ton of threads on welding up gears for extra traction, i went ahead and welded mine up.

I put the diff back in and went to pull out of my garage, and I just roasted my clutch. I figured that maybe there was some slag left in the bearing, so i dropped it in lo and behold something broke loose.
MY F#CKING DRIVE LINE.

I'm really p#ssed at all this BS talk. I welded my junk really well. And now my drive line is twisted up like a damn pretzel.

You are all a bunch of sh#t talking Jerks.

What the hell did you all do differently?"

There are some bright bunnies out there  :lol:

The sand one is pretty old, and I thought the diff one was a hoax.  I'm not sure how you'd get the gears out of the housing once they were welded together.  Also that looks freshly welded, with no sign of oil.

Another favourite of mine: (looks like the original is gone, so only a copy)
