That is the coolant light. The sensor for it is in the overflow bottle. So, fill the overflow bottle up to the line.

You can build boost when you have a boost leak. Just do the test and fix what is leaking.

The stock boost gauge will read boost even if you are making 0psi. It is very inaccurate.

Your car seems pretty slow to me from watching the tach. I'm wandering if you have the wastegate actuator arm disconnected. This happened to me when I first bought my car.
 
the wastegate arm is on,, but my car is have a very weak vacuum, i had a gauge and started test all the lines,, the highest was on the fuel line and is was like 10,, i plan on buying all new 1/4 hose, and change everything out, im going to do the boost test this weekend, oh and can ignition system being weak make it slow,,i order NGK plugs and wires,,,
 
The ignition system being weak could make it slow. But, you would notice a hesitation/bucking feeling.
