Do you need a turbo for a blow off valve?

No, but if the valve is intended to blow at high pressure and you have it connected to the negative pressure of a NA engine intake so it will never open. You could use a brass plug instead as this is much cheaper and will provide the same functionality.

With out a turbo making boost, there is nothing to "blow off"
