Just wondering if turboing a 7A is a waste of time or should I just save for the 3SGTE?

From what I've heard, the cost of a 7A-FTE build will be close to that of a 3S-GTE swap, unless you collect parts at low prices over a long amount of time. Bottom line with the 7A-FTE is that you're limited more or less to 240ish HP on stock internals, whereas the 3S-GTE will get you 250-260 out of the box, for a 3rd gen that is.
So as far as using logic, the 3S is the way to go...but if you find that the 3S is too common or you don't want to swap, then the 7A-FTE is a very good option.
