You have a leak or a head gasket problem (exhaust gasses pressurising the coolant system). There are LOTS of coolant connections to check...at the turbo, intake manifold, thermostat, header tanks, radiator, chargecooler....Probably the best way would be to pressurize the system with one of those radiator cap adaptor pressure testers, that way you can see what's going on...

Did you rebleed the system after you blew a hose ? It can be a real pain to bleed properly, maybe you are just getting rid of al the air in the system?

Take a good look from underneath the engine compartment, on mine you could easily see the leak from the crystalized glycerine..
