Another Atkins saga!
I seriously doubt there's something wrong with the motor itself. If it's currently holding a steady idle, pulling good vacuum, and making oil pressure, the motor is fine.
I would suspect either belt slipping or bad turbos. Pull the inlets off both turbos and check for play in the shaft - if the compressor wheel hits the housing, you'll get all kinds of weird noise. And, yes, bad turbos can make boost.
Again, I bigtime doubt you have an engine problem. 9 times out of 10, a problem with a new engine in the car is the ton of stuff you bolt on to the motor, not the motor itself. Remember, one of the cool things about a rotary engine is it's VERY simple. It's really just an air pump. There is nothing in the motor itself that would produce the noise you're describing.

As far as the "Squeeking badly...shuddering the car", I'm clueless.
For the record....THE ENGINE IS BLOWN! rear apex seal...at least 2 are gone. Driving it home, with no power, the engine idled dead on 10mmHg. It will bump trying to start on the only working rotor but will not start.
When I took the car home after the rear seal failure, no more squeeking sound...hmmmm
