If you want a good (new) BOV for cheap, e-mail me. I'm selling my CNK bov.

for that low boost look in to a internal wastegate if you have one.

yes, you need a wastegate. EVERY turbo needs a wastegate. The question is, do you need an internal or an external.

Depending on size and location, internal wastegates do fine up to about 15-20 psi. Some go higher, but around that point you want to start thinking about an external wastegate.

The decision is ususally made by the time you buy a turbo and a manifold. If the manifold has no provision for an external wastegate, the you MUST use a turbo with an internal wastegate. If your turbo has no internal wastegate, then you MUST buy a manifold with an external wastegate.

BOV's are a good thing. You can get them quiet, or noisy, depending on what's your thing. If you keep the stock MAF, going with a "recirculating" BOV is a wise idea.
