The 944 has a Reynolds 390 die-cast-aluminum block with linerless
bores and aluminum cylinder heads with in-line valves and hydraulic
lifters.

I don't know why this would mean that you coudn't turbocharge it
later.  Porsche itself is supposed to come out with a 944 turbo
as an '85 model.  Rumor has it that this car is very, very fast
(faster than a 911) and will not be cheap.

I don't know about your area, but the current wait for a 944 here
in New England is about a year, unless you want to pay $2-4K over
list.
