This only happens when the engine is warmed up... you can hear a screeching sound that goes on and on...

If it's coming from the item shown in the pictures, then it's your vacuum pump.

The squealing sound I heard, no. The ticking of the FSI system, that's normal. I believe a few of those vacuum pumps have worn out, so it may be that pump is the issue.

Turns out its the water pump... And I have no warranty... do you guys think I could push a goodwill replacement? how common is that in this engines?
