Sorry to ruin your day. Having replaced the head gaskets on two 240 turbos your symptoms match exactly. The "fast warm" up you are seeing is actually steam caused by exhaust gases getting into the water chambers in the head. This is also causing your hoses to ballon. Change it out ASAP since uneven cooling of the head will cause warpage. Besides, the head gasket job isn't so bad once you've done it once or twice.
