None of the 87 and older T1 cars will have one. They used a suck through turbo design so they didn't need it. Only the 88+ turbo 1 cars came with them. They are mounted inside the airbox.
There has been a huge debate over whether you need to worry about compressor surge on a T2 car. The Garrett probably handles it better at stock boost levels. The Mitsu might be okay at stock boost too. It's really a matter of how hard you drive it. A BOV isn't a bad idea though. You'll be okay in the short term, just get one on it when you can.
As for the Mitsu versus the Garrett, there's no real difference to the computer. A turbo is a turbo. The Mitsu will spool faster but has less top end potential because it's smaller. At stock boost you shouldn't really notice a difference. It might be even better with the faster spool time.
