Default problem with my turbo S2000? please help!

I have had my S2000 for 2 years the last year I bit the bullet and had inline pro install there custom turbo kit. It/s been great no issues for a year but nothing stays gold forever. The kit is the street kit with a sc61 turbo, aem ems basically everything but the thicker headgasket. I noticed the car would start cuting out when I slowed down and put my foot on the clutch just sometimes. The coolant in the overflow tank is really low to and I checked the radiator and there is still fluid up to the top, but the overflow tank sucks up what I add. The car is also idling funny and making a ticking sound almost like a rocker arm. I have plenty of oil in the car so I don't think I damaged the engine. Coluld it be the headgasket I have been running on 7 pounds on 11/1 compression for awile now. IM STUMPED
Please any suggestions I would be in your debt thanks god bless!!!!!

Yes I did just call the shop but like I said I am busy hopefully next week I can have you guys look it over. I just hope it's nothing serious I think I will check the oil but I don't think any coolant is on the dipstick. Thanks for any replies . Hopefully I will see you guys at Inline soon thanks.

There is no coolant on the dipstick but I will check around further thanks.I don't think it's overheating even though my temperature gauge is turned off because of the aem ems but Inline told me if the car overheats the aem ems will set off the engine light. I don't see any puddles of coolant underneath the car maybe by the firewall? I havent even been ragging my car out at all this sucks. Inline pro did such a good job I thought my car was invincible, it's been a year and no problems until this, damn. Thanks for your repllies I hope it's nothing to bad, PLEASE ANY COMMENTS OR THOUGHTS WOULD BE SO HELPFUL THANKS AGIAN

I think mine is more of a crack from what I could tell by just pulling the intake back a bit to look at it. I bolted everything back up though because I didn't know how long I would be down or I'd go back in the garage and look at it again closer. We will know for sure tomorrow what mine looks like Andy when we start tearing into it. I'll give you a call around 10 am if thats cool.
