DIY: TSI Valve Cleaning in detail (Get Rid of That Carbon!)

Partial cross post, I mentioned valve cleaning in another thread, but it was geared more towards DSG service.

Random thought, while I'm in there, what do you guys think on a little sanding the ports to smooth them out a bit? Possibly (slim possibility) to reduce the surface area in the ports to delay further deposits for the future? Huge waste of time, or hit it for an hour or so and see how far I get? Not going for the whole port and polish aspect of things obviously....

huge waste of time unless the head is off imo and how would you know you got all the dust/any solids out?

I followed this on my MK5 TSI and they cleaned up beautifully! Only took like an hour and a half per cylinder due to the shear amount of carbon i had after 100k miles of carbon. I know this is an old thread but thank you!
