Default XR8 fitted in XB Blows of Water hoses

I have fitted a XR8 to my XB. To do so I eliminated the AU header tank (no room) and made a fitting on top of the thermo housing to include a pressure cap. The pressure cap is usually on the header tank. The center pipe on the radiator has been blanked off. (This used to go to the header tank) I than ran the pipe on the radiator hose to a replacement header tank. see photo. The problem is that it blows of hoses in a spectacular fashion. I wonder if someone could confirm that the mod I have done is OK or not. Thanks Steve
