squeaking noise from a wastegate

Hey everyone, I was just driving my car & I don't know how it started but all of a sudden I hear a squeaking noise everytime I step on the gas. I opened the hood & had someone rev it a little & I noticed it is coming from a wastegate. it's everytime I step inthe gas it squeaks once. it sounds like it needs to be lubricated or something. I was just wondering if anyone has heard the same sound in their car & what the solution is.

I had this problem and one of the V-Band clamps on the down pipes was broken. Replaced and noise is gone.

Just curious does it sound like this at :18 . It's that little squeaking noise. I've had it for a little while and now that I think about it, it might have started when I got my downpipes installed.... Almost everytime I turn off the car I hear that noise



Edit: It's not the crackling noise when the car turns off it's the squeaking noise. The crackling noise is because I didn't hold in the clutch while turning it off
