Definitely replace it. It might not be your only boost leak, but you ought to fix it.

I'd say it is PROBABLY not your only boost leak. To have zero boost after transition, it has to be a VERY LARGE leak, or something wrong in the sequential turbo control system.

Check your boost couplers and vacuum hoses. Also follow the troubleshooting procedures referenced in the stickies.
