I did not did extensive research on that, but the big JDM era in north america, a lot of JDM shitbox ran no BOV to got the stustustustu sound .

and lately I found a video explaining why this 'should'nt' be an issue hardware wise. Now for the sensor, plastics and all other bmw fragile stuff, I wouldnt try.
Did not remember the youtuber , but same guy that explained there's no turbo lag with a remote turbo , but a boost threshold instead.


On my side, I still run the chargepipe with 2x 1in port for the oem diverters, but since the single turbo I use a 1in BOV and capped the other hole.
