Megawizard IP cores are only present if you instanatiate them. The synthesis tools don't magically inject megawizards, instead they map your HDL to FPGA primatives like multipliers, RAMs, LUTs, etc... The synthesized results are different since they are different technologies and a different set of primatives.

So what are you trying to do since I'm scratching my head wondering why someone would want to do this?
