It make sense that you would lose boost. It makes sense because the rpm's also drop when you engage the clutch, no matter how fast you shift. It has been proven more than once that 0 to 60 times are faster with a DCT compared to a manual. Boost is where the power comes from so maybe that also has something to do with why the DCT is faster.
