Bernie,
Have a look at the breather hose diagram posted by SJM
http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/trouble_shooting/20vboost.html#hose

and read his description:

"This 1991 200TQ 20V breather hose also has a Tee in the center of 
the hose, which connects to the intake manifold via a flow regulating 
one way check valve and a molded rubber hose. The check valve will 
close under positive manifold "boost" pressure. "
