No... I checked all the hoses around the turbo and all the fluids... could it possibly be the clutch??? when the clutch is engaged it seems like it starts to slip, but when the car goes over 2000 revs the light begins to flash again

i wouldn't recommend piggybacking your ecu, because when you increase the boost, you need to increase the fuel, that's why so many companies have the whole ecu replacement, because it remaps the fuel and increases the boost and some other stuff

to increase boost you would want to make the arm shorter and if you give it about 2-3 turns it should make a noticible increase of adding a couple extra pounds of boost, however if you make it too short, you run into the risk of not having the correct fuel mixture and the car can misfire
