DIFFERENT not just as many...

An up front turbo causes different CG issues not necessarily as many or as much...

Adding 60 lbs of weight up front is different than adding 175 lbs just above and to the sides of the existing. In this very thread I believe they showed the weight distribution after a swap and the cars over all weight went from 2758 to 2919.

so 161 lbs difference. Not a lot but that's 100 lbs more top heavy weight and while a front mounted turbo may change the front to rear bias, I think the up top weight bias change is more substantial in regards to cornering.

If you're looking to drag, the front to rear is a little more substantial when trying to hook up...

Again, what is your overall goal with this car???
