Questions about about doing intercooler, pipes, and bov on a 25'

I know the intercooler connectors are different, so make sure to get a '2025' tagged kit.

Bigger questions:

1. Since the stock 25 does NOT have a BOV, does it even make sense to add one if I get a intercooler kit with the charge pipes (like the CVF setup offering).
2. IF I get the kit with the BOV, does it even have a place to connect to the harness anywhere since the 25 doesn't have one? How does it get controlled?
3. IF I get the kit with the BOV, does this require a tune to have it function correctly?

I've never had a turbo car without a BOV (all have been electrically controlled) and this is just breaking my brain.

1. The bov would be for sound only
2. bovs are controlled by pressure and the stiffness of the spring inside not electronically like I believe the wastegates in these trucks likely are
3. No tune required since we have a MAP sensor and the issues with bovs are in vehicles with a MAF sensor bc they lose air that’s been accounted for
