Check all connections, after the work you most likely have a stray connector etc.

Sounds like your metering unit has had it or the black empfa unit on the side of it

When i put my old engine in my car the metering unit also made a squealing kinda sound, was getting some fuel through the system,but spent a while cracking all the fuel pipes on unit starting with main feed then pipes on the injectors, and then she fired up

By cracking i mean loosening the banjo bolts that hold pipes onto metering unit (individually),, then once theres plenty fuel coming out from them do the same to the pipes on the injectors,, i had a mate in the car flicking the ignition on when id "cracked" a line to prime pump and push fuel through,, worked for me anyway mate,but you might have another issue? Good luck!!

If u put ignition on then push mfi flap down u will get a squeal noise that is pushing fuel to injectors then once uv pushed it couple times try turning it over it should start
Mine does the same when left for couple days but once I've had it running it starts every time after that
