MSP Windage Tray installation on P5 question

I'm in the process of boosting my P5 and for the oil return i'm using an MSP windage tray since my stock P5 one was cracked anyway. My question is when I replace it, do I need to replace the rear main seal to avoid leaks? My friend who is a technician at the local VW dealership is insisting that I do because the windage tray contacts the rear main seal. I'm really hoping I don't have to since I was gonna drill two holes in the bell housing and am not planning on pulling the trans let alone the clutch and flywheel.
