Yes you should worry, I boost spike can pop your motor.
Basic rule of thumb on owning a high end performance car. When any little thing goes wrong, dont let it sit and drive it for 40K more miles, fix the problem asap, these arent civics ya know !

with the leak.....it was goin 10-8-8 and LOWER...with the leak fixed.....its 11-9-11 with spikes up to 13......... guess i better save up for the ecu BEFORE my clutch......
ecu does not control spiking, or boost for that matter. You can install a different jet in your turbo prespool line to reduce the amount of boost produced at the transition, or you can adjust the wastegate actuator i believe, apparently there is a rod that you can adjust to regulate the amount of spiking that occurs.
