Is the Boost Sensor important?

My brother was removing the "ram air" that leads to the intake so he can tighten my clutch. The boost sensor was in the way so he tried pulling off the skinny hose attached to it at the bottom but it was one piece. He just ripped it off. lol. After he bled the clutch I started the car. The clutch was better but the cel came on.

Should I fix that now or can it wait. I'm driving the car now with the cel on because the ripped hose from the boost sensor.

what does that do exactly??
