Put the original dumpvalve back on and see if that cures it-sounds like the bailey one is letting by.

The turbo whistling could be damaged so when you fitted the filter was it closed properly, but try changing the bailey's and put the old filter back in,

when you fitted the B's dump valve did you blank off the black pipe where the original intercooler went into? the pipe is under the intercooler and goes to the inlet manifold i think..
