You'll most likely spike well above requested at initial WOT and cut throttle. As a result....
your car will be SUPER SLOW! At the very least, install a MBC in parallel to limit the initial boost spike. Your car should run great with that and no need for a TCD or FPR.
The next step in power increases would be adding a TCD, putting the MBC in control of boost, and adding a 5 bar FPR. It is not required, though.

If you don't want to run a TCD or FPR, you'll really be better off with it in parallel.
If you want to run MBC only, I'd suggest putting in a 5 bar FPR and a TCD, or else you will cut throttle and/or run a bit on the lean side up top.

In parallel or MBC only with FPR and TCD?
In parallel, I'd set it to 17-18 psi or so to get some nice kick in the butt low end torque.
MBC only setup, I'd set it to 16-16.5 psi, which it will hold to redline. Much above that and you'll max out the MAF sensor.

Definitely the MBC only set to 16-16.5 psi, 5 bar FPR, TCD.
With MBC in parallel setup, you taper to 12.x psi as opposed to the setup I explained above, which holds 16-16.5 psi all the way to redline. I'd say you're looking at 25-30 hp increase by adding the extra boost, maybe more?
