Engine Noise - Vacuum Leak and/or Water Pump?

The vacuum brake line on the turbo is interesting in that it has 3 ends: One is the snap on fitting under the plastic intake Y in front of the throttle near the rubber T vacuum fitting that got chewed up on your car and mine. One is a snap on fitting to the back passenger (RHS) side of the intake manifold that was loose on my car and caused driveability issues. The third leg goes merges with the electric booster line that goes to the brake booster.

What I think is interesting is that the 3-way line appears to have a Venturi pump in it which enables the line to supply vacuum to the booster under both vacuum/idle conditions as well as under boost. No idea how well it works but that appears to be the design intent.
