The simple answer is yes. Get a new one, I would go with OEM, see if the codes go away.

The not so simple answer, to determine the right repair procedure, you must first get an accurate diagnosis.

To be clear. The head was not removed from car by mechanic.

Open circuit in the boost control solenoid circuit and boost pressure sensor circuit. Check the wiring and connectors to both of those units, they might be disconnected.

Okay, after inspecting the wires and tightening the connectors it seems that the issue is gone and the car is up to speed as usual, thank you everyone for the help!
