When I take off seems fine. If I give it gas it feels like it bogs down and it has a high pitch screech to it. It sounds like metal to metal but it also sounds like a vacuum hose or something of that nature.

This could be a number of things including what you mention of a vacuum leak. So we need to start from the beginning and follow this guide and check these things off the list so that we can get more info to point us in the right direction.

Also, here is a guide that will take us through how to check for a vacuum leak:

Once we know if anything turns up with this info then we will have a better idea. However, if you can get a video of the noise so that we can see if that triggers any other ideas. Thanks
