2006 BRM, upgraded turbo to brand new GTB1749V from Darkside Developments, also deleted EGR, installed a EGR block plate with EGT port:
https://www.idparts.com/exhaust-turbo-manifold-block-off-plate-egt-port-p-3070.html (used J-B weld High heat to make sure there is no leak on the EGT port when I have installed the EGT probe, also had to make some minor adjustments with a drill bit to the two mounting holes in the plate to align them with the turbo mounting studs, no J-B weld on them).
I have also installed a used 3" downpipe, I have noticed that the I have a small exhaust leak where the downpipe connects to the turbo (the downpipe flange has a small crack from the previous owner). I did not think too much about it, since it is after the turbo, and I will fix the leak tomorrow. As soon as I started the engine I got a squealing noise, if I remove the vacuum line to turbo the squealing stops. The turbo oil feed line is installed, all the hoses are in good order, new turbo gasket installed, turbo nuts torqued correctly. See the two videos I have recorded and let me know what you think:
