Xu15 In Dakar Zx

[dynacord 6 1 Cars]

looking back at past dakar winners, found that the ZX (which won the Dakar FOUR times which is quite impressive, beating the very hardcore mitsubishis back in 1990s) used some turbocharged 2,5 XU15 which was never used again? think it shared the same turbo as the T16 or somewhat similar Garett. If anyone has any pics of this engine, please please share
