Now he wants to remove the manifold to see if the valves are bent? Surely the guy is trying have me off! After 6 weeks of sitting on his garage he finally tells me this. I am certain that its just a turbo! Someone said he has done this to other people then he buys the cars fixes them and makes a big profit! Is it possible what he is saying
Sounds a bit like the 'Magic Bullit Theory' ,, did the guy also claim that it then hit the tyre and caused a puncture???

A compresion test on the cylinders would show up any bent/damaged valves.
