Default Erghhh.. Do I really need as BOV?

Ok so my car has no blow off valve at all, 2001 Bugeye WRX.

The last owner fitted a FMIC and decided that no BOV was the better option.

It has a fantastic "Flutter" noise but in the long run I'm sure this isn't the best thing, heck Subaru fit one at the factory so surely it serves a purpose.

What should I get? I'm not interested in the noise at all, the stock BOV on my GF8 was plenty. However I can't fit a stock valve on this one due to the lack of TMIC.

Opinions on the Turbosmart Kompact plum-back BOV? Can pick them up for about $180 new.

Tried a HKS full ATMO. Was loud and stuffed up the idle of my car - also created back firing and the car used even more fuel.
