Which way to go with my st, IDEAS, need some help/opinions Options

[NOVAKx17]

Alright guys, now that i finally have it on the road(ALMOST)
i'm leaving for basic training in may which means i'll be gone for about 6 months
after AIT is all said and done, and in that time i don't plan on spending that much
money! so i'm looking for some opinions as to what i could do with my st.

i was thinking drive it until either 1 it blows up, or starts having problems, or i get a build done.
whatever comes first.

anyways. i'm looking into 3 things. either
A: building the 7a i have on the engine stand from the swap for boost and buying one of
smaays turbo kits for the 7a once i finish the build.
B: building a 7agte, as i've been reading up on them alot lately.
or C: swapping in a 4age. possibly 4agze. but i don't know about that as i'd rather just stay
with the stock engine or hyrbid for the most part.

and that brings me to another thing, please just don't jump in this thread and say "3sgte FTW"
i know all about that and have read countless hours of posts and threads about them and i don't want
to go that route until i buy a gt.

so thanks in advance for all the advice/input

Valid points Sirs.

the things i'm liking most about beams is that 1 it won't need much upkeep and hopefully be hassle free for the most part!
and 2 that it comes with the lsd tranny! definately some strong selling points to me!

but then again on the other hand, a 7AFTE is also looking very good to me considering the car is already made for a 7a and
that i have a 7a sitting on the stand ready to be rebuilt ...

so that brings me to the conclusion that its going to be between putting in a BEAMS or building a 7AFTE...

lets hear some pros and cons.... i don't have much/if any experience with turboed engines.
