Some people have to do it, some don't. The check valves are only like $1.25 at any auto store (Called a 1-way check valve). Your MAP sensor will be on your intake manifold either attached to the throttle body, or attached to the intake manifold. its a flat sensor with an air tube on it. On the 2.4's it was bolted to the throttle body but the air tube ran to the front of the manifold.

Top of intake manifold below fuel rail
Because the MAP sensor is a 0 to 5v signal, and 0-14.7PSI sensor (1 BAR). 14.7 PSI is the pressure at sea level, so when your throttle is fully open (showing 0 vacuum), you are at the full signal that the MAP sensor can push out. Adding more PSI won't make the MAP sensor send more voltage, so it doesn't matter if it goes any higher and you vent it off to atmosphere. The ECU can't see boost at all, so anything after 0 PSI isn't being seen by the ECU.

so is there any reason at all to run a check valve?

it can also phycically damage the sensor if you are running high enough boost
