that ones pretty good.

i heard of one that is worse, and unfortunately it was an audi....

when i was going to Audi Academy at the Glendale Heights Campus, our instructor read to us an email that was originally sent to AoA. the kid (im assuming around 16-18 years old) explains that he had heard of extrude honing intake manifolds and cylinder heads using a sand mixture to increase cfm's and thereby horsepower so he wanted to do it to his 1.8t a4. he goes to home depot and purchases a 3 gallon bucket and a 5lb bag of sand. then the email states (paraphrased):

"i pulled off the largest vacuum hose i could find, hooked up an adapter with a hose attached, and stuffed the other end into the bucket of sand. at first start up, the car did not want to idle, so i ran it at WOT for about 10-15 minutes until the car eventually stalled. my engine will not crank or start now. is there a local dealership that would repair my engine under warranty. thanks."

the email was read to us so i dont have a copy, but it was so hilarious i wish i did.

that sand porting thread was a joke, it was posted on audiforums and it got so many hits it crashed the site for a few hours and was removed. sounds like this one is a joke too. if it somehow is not though..... chemical castration FTW.
