Not really, he is well known for being fast, that is what every character in the Narutoverse knows him for...they don't mention his teleportation. Now yes I agree that he hasn't shown it, except three times, once was when he was fighting Tobi he managed to hit a rasengan on Tobi's back before becoming intangible. Even using FTG this is a feat almost impossible to achieve without great speed, since Tobi can make himself intangible at anytime. So one must assume that Minato must have managed to transport and subsequently hit Tobi before Tobi realised Minato transported. Now I remind you that Tobi had a sharingan! One cannot do that with FTG alone.

Second, when resurrected he was the first to arrive, out of the 4 kages, to arrive to the frontlines. Thus showing his speed.

And third is as Steve said.

And about his nickname, no where you see an aura of yellow when he uses FTG. Where the hell did you get this idea? Yellow flash is because his Hair is yellow, and multiple times they mention about the yellow flash created when he moved at high speeds. Even when Naruto first gained the ability to use the nine tails chakra and he moves at an extremely high speed it seemed like there was a flash of yellow light, which reminded Kakashi of Minato. It just shows that Kakashi has the memory of such yellow flash.

I am not counting teletransportation as speed, I am saying that even without FTG he actually is fast. You just can't see the full extent of it because of both the limitations of IWR, and since everybody else is so OP right now that it shadows his pure speed.

There is still enough proof that he is naturally fast, and the fastest character in the Narutoverse, obviously not counting power-ups.
