im thinking its a good idea if i want to be boosting 28psi.
ive seen a lot of BMW turbo builds doing this and they're running much less boost ... necessary or overkill?

No, o-ringed. Its the act of using a SS o-ring to aid in sealing on high boost or high CR engines.
In laymens terms... A groove is machined into the circumference of each cylinder and then a stainless steel wire that fits in the groove is laid in place, sticking up above the deck of the block a very small amount.
