Engine noise question

When I rev over 4500 in the first few gears I can hear a loud squeeling sound, sort of like the squealing belt in my old E30 325. I know this isn't a very detailed description, but anybody have any thoughts?

have you checked for loose belts? When I replaced mine they stretched a bit after a few days causting the alternator belt to loosen enough to squeal at just about the same revs as you describe.

Also check all the pulleys (alternator, air pump, etc) to make sure they're not siezed and / or out of alignment.
