Lastly, with the BRZ/FRS, the Turbo is going to have to go IN FRONT of the motor meaning all that weight is going to upset the balance with a turbo motor too, so either way its going to change the balance of the car.
lets not forget that those extra two cylinders will be going IN FRONT as well. and forced induction absolutely does not have to weigh that much
