Hello Paul,
I have been looking at getting my engine mount at or in front of the
CG.
I have attached a Auto-cad 12 DXF file for you to look at.
This new arrangement lets me use the standard exhaust manifold and
turbo.
It also makes the 20mm pipes wider apart to house a wider radiator.
All the material I have in stock of offsets.

Looks good with a few minor mods as shown.
I like that aluminum plate T Schertz Beam.
A channel version would give you room underneath for a tube tying the two
rubber bushing holders together. Than a simple diagonal tube
would suffice for lateral bracing instead of a big X brace.
Keep the bottom of the oil pan as small as possible to minimize
radiator blockage.

Mock it up and make sure the stock turbo fits. In my case the the rubber
bushing holders had to be 29 inches apart. Your firewall 
mounting points may be further apart than mine giving you more
room for the motor mount tubes.
