it doesn't really matter where the bov faces, what kind of waistgate do you have, i know the hks waistgate needs a gasket but not sure on others, it wouldn't hurt, but unless you are having some kind of exhaust leak it doesn't really matter.

You really dont need a gasket but if you like just go to your local auto parts place and get a tube of cooper paste gasket maker

Some say it's not needed and others (like myself) always use a gasket. I use ATP's. It has a fire ring and it's only a couple of dollars. I've never had any issues w/ exaust leaks either.
