you already have a valve. Why do you need a different one? if you want to hear it, just don't recirculate it. But it does look like where your is hooked up it is flanged with the greddy,vortech,maxrev...flange, so you could potentially bolt on a bunch of different ones

The vortech kit usually comes with a Vortech BOV, and it will bolt right where you have it routed back in the intake track. You will have the same benifits from a BOV the Vortech as you would with a turbo set up, reduced compressor surge.

Ricers bolt BOV's only so they can hear it. Racers bolt it up to reduce compressor surge (protect their turbo), which by design helps keep the compressor from stalling.

If you already have a bypass valve of some sort in place (small tube going from SC outlet to SC inlet), then you don't really need to upgrade unless you're getting compressor surge. Since its just 8psi, and you only get that near redline, I'd doubt you're going to be stressing anything but a tiny valve.
