What condition is the air filter in?
Try pull the pipe off the turbo inlet and go for a small drive see if its any diffrent
collet was next to valve spring so yea retrieved and re fit as its only a few weeks old. also still looked new!And it's safe to drive without the intake as long as you don't get anything shoot up into the intake manifold. But don't drive it like that for too long, just in case
the only time valve stick is when they are bent
is it the air intake sound that makes you say that?Now that I've listened to the video, I think that you might have a sticking inlet valve. It wouldn't surprise me if it is valve 8, which would be one explanation for the collet falling off.

Given that the car was bought with the booming happening, it makes me wonder if it was a reason for the sale? And maybe a broken or slipped cam belt in the past?
If it were a stuck/burned/broken valve, then:-
If you put your hand near the inlet (with the hose off as in the video) can you feel any unevenness in the flow into it? That would be a good test in a non turbo car, but the turbo will, to some extent, mask the effect that the hot air being blown back out into the inlet manifold would have. Worth a try though.
