Went junkyard shopping yesturday at the local pick and pull.

Found a pair of 91 100's in decent shape, one of which was kind enough to
give me a nearly perfect radiator/condensor for the 200 avant.  It also
donated the wood trim from the dash as it wasnt faded at all.

As I was heading back to pay for things, I went a different way.  Happend to
see another type 44 with what looked like turbo tailights.  Sure enough, it
was a Fwd turbo with the auto trans 1986 model year.  Noticed the headlights
were EURO 100 style lights, so I added another set to my collection! (that
makes 4.5 sets of 100 euros, 3.5 I have gotten from this very junk yard).
While pulling the right side headlight, I noticed the intercooler had a 3rd
hose connected from just below the michelin man hose that ran to the ISV???
Whats that?  Is that a blow off valve that someone put in?  Or did the auto
trans cars have another sort of connection to the intercooler?  Either way
im going back to grab it cause now I can put in the blow off valve on my car
without having to modify an intercooler, its already got the port!

If anyone has any ideas why this car is like that, please let me know.

Thanks
