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

Turboing the 7a is very easy to do, I turbo'd mine back in the day running 10psi along with a 75 shot of nitrous. It was a quick car and definitly fun to drive. I was able to turbo it for right around $1500, cheaper than doing the 3sgte swap. But then again its all about your power goals. I was also running stock motor!

I was also running stock motor! See, that's what I always imagined, because it technically should be cheaper than the cost of a 3S plus everything else necessary to swap. Would you mind telling me what kind of turbo you used, and your BHP and WHP at what PSI? I assume from your profile that you're using stock injectors and don't have a boost gauge, anything else that you might have not bought that would usually be done?
