I think the early 924 had an audi based engine in it, but the 944 were probably more 928 than audi. There was a 924 turbo too, but not sure what it was based on. I think it was the original audi engine, no intercooler or anything. It was pretty early stuff. I remember people saying Porsche was so confident in their turbo technology with that car, they didn't even bother to put a boost gauge in it. I've taken a couple of 944 engines apart, and a lot of the internal bits even share 928 parts code numbers. It's more or less half a 928 engine. Porsche didn't skimp on the oily bits with the 944 from what I can see.
