Forge BPV are NOT an upgrade. They are a pain in the dick and not worth the $150.00 at all. They are too stiff even on the lowest spring and cause BPV solenoid issues as they are slower compared to stock. The stock BPV is the best choice.
You should NOT run a vent to atmosphere BPV or BOV without a tune, on the OEM BPV solenoid, and a MAF relocate it HIGHLY recommended to avoid rich spikes from releasing metered air. When doing the MAF relocate you can simply cut the plastic wire loom open and pull out the wires to move the MAF plug to its new location. No harness or wire cutting is needed on the Cobalts.

so if i understand this correctly the 3 bar map sensor just senses a more accurate boost pressure correct. And the HPtuner is that a specific brand or is the a couple of hptuners

3bar increases the boost the ecu can see accurately. Hptuners is a hardware and software that allows you to either tune the car yourself or have someone remote tune you or in person tune you

The TOB is really only an issue for people that replace the clutch. Some people install the new TOB wrong and it leads to issues
