Default radiator hose pressure

i have a 94 hatch with a gsr turbo and recently i have been popping off radiator hoses and coolant lines. my top hose was twice as big as it's supposed to be last night and someone said that i am forcing air into the cooling system; so how and why is this happening?

You would only be forcing air in if your head was lifting. Are you using worm clamps ?
