RE: manual boost??
Welcome to the forum.
No you cannot use a MBC. ME7 cars do not like MBC's at all. An ECU upgrade is the way to go if you want to raise your boost levels.
However I suggest doing a complete STAGE ZERO first, which can be found in the link provided in my signature. Also a boost gauge is warranted as well.

1. Yes you are ME7. Any Volvo 1999+ is ME7.
2. No a dump valve should not cause any problems ever. Other then running rich for a split second when it goes off. Also if your automatic you will only hear the sound when you let off the gas.
I suggest an HKS SSQV first a foremost, TIAL is very good as well.
