ok on the link you had posted there are no multiple sizes of wastegate's or blow-off-valve's,

get the kit it comes with a 38mm external wastegate. you then pick the SPRING PRESSURE from the list so being that you are new to this i would say get a 3-4psi (.250Bar) spring, and purchase an electronic boost controller which will allow you to go up higher. This way you will still be able to run the car at low boost with the controller turned down

the optional 50mm bov goes in the intake and is there to keep the turbo compressor from building up to much pressure in the intake pipe when you shut the throttle so i would order it too.

one set of valves controls the turbo(wastegates) and one set keeps them from damaging themselves when you shut the throttle(bov's)
