If you are interested you can just do the non-sequential mod and then you can block it off. The site on how to do it can be found at dontbearikki.com

yes, the one way valve is very important for the proper operation of your turbos. You can get a new on at the dealer for around $30

Without the check valve you will get no secondary boost and some check engine codes.

The check valve is required for the Turbo Control Actuator to close quickly. It allows pressure into the pressure tank, but not out. This tank provides pressure to the TCA at transition at the same time vacuum is provided to the TCA that when combined quickly slam the Turbo Control Valve shut. Without the check valve you will have a sluggish transition and a slow build of boost on the second turbo.
