Leave the DCCD in Auto 99% of the time. Lock is for low traction driving conditions.

EDIT: And what the Hell do you need a BOV for? is your turbo upgraded? As fullerton asked, are you tuned for it?

+1, The stock bypass valve works just fine, auto setting is your friend and reading the stickies before touching anything on your car is worth its weight in gold. Welcome to the forums.

Locking the diffs for everyday driving is a bad idea. And locked diffs make noise during low speed/sharp turns.

Well, they're trying to make a point that you need to keep the DCCD set to AUTO practically all the time. Is the clicking noise faint, or is it pretty loud?
