Default Boost for RST

Hi

I have had my RST for about 8 weeks now and i need some info on the Electroic Turbo Boost ?

I have one on the dash its got a Green light and a Red light and in the middle a button to push

When i start the car it on Green and then whan you pull away it goes on to Red then back to Green on its own without me pushing the button ?

Q1- What does the Boost do for the car ?

Q2-Is the button in the middle broken ?

Q3-Does it need to be on Greed all the time or Red ?

Cheers for ya hellp lads

That does sound strange, would it be worth following the wires to see what they are connected to, this wound give a better idea of what is going on! Do you know what the button is supposed to do? and do you know what the lights are ment to represent?
