Same stuff.

It's an Eaton supercharger, not built by Audi. I put the AC Delco fluid in about 50,000 kms ago. Pretty straight forward procedure to change the oil.

Did you watch the vid? It is clearly cranking over just fine, not "rusted". Just not firing.

I'd start with fresh fuel, fresh fluids and a fresh battery.

Mine make a "squeal" and "popping" sound, but only when the temp overnight has gone below -20C (-4F). But only for a few seconds and only when it's cold.

Does yours happen at warmer temps??

Maybe the guide pins are dirty and not properly lubed? This can cause the calipers to stick and overheat as well.
