Torque is what gets you moving. Torque and is a direct correlation to hp. Think of torque as the integral of horsepower. Hopefully you've studied integrals in school. More hp under the curve means more torque.

finally how does boost provide performance?

think of an engine as a big vacuum. Atmospheric pressure is not overcome on a n/a engine. Well, sometimes slightly, but its negliable. Adding more air to the combustion chamber (needs more fuel too) means more hp. Thats pretty much the simple jist of it.
