If you want that motor of yours to last I would highly recomend you get a wastegate.

The purpose of a wastegate is to control the boost level.
Without it it will just keep boosting until you break it

To give you something to think about.
How would your stock internals handle 3bar boost?

a 38mm wastegate is more than adequate
And it gives you headroom when you start boosting more
