YouTube X1/9 video help

True Classic
About a year or so ago, someone provided a link to a Swedish or Dutch X1/9 (red in color, box flares, turbo?) racing in some series against Porsches and a few purpose built spec-racer looking cars. I can't remember the owners name, the racing series or anything about it. Anyone have the info so I can find the video again? No luck doing random searches.
 
maybe this:

That's a lot of HP from not a lot of boost...

I have to assume that "1.5 bar boost pressure" represents 1.5 bar above atmospheric, not 0.5 above.

Still, even if you stuff 2.5 times the normal amount of fuel into a 1.4 liter, 2 valve motor, I would not expect more than 250hp or so. But then you have to consider the stratospheric RPMs that thing is reaching to. Incredible. I'd love to see the HP/TQ dyno graph.

21.5 psi boost and a 10k redline will make some power, i bet its like a sportbike almost. id love to try.
