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

if you can find one in the US, then and shipping, and custom fees lol.

Novak and hector: If you "swap" your residence to australia, then youll be in a better market. LOL

Beams is a good swap and forget engine. Tuning and aftermarket parts are expensive and GL finding them. Remember this. if you swap a beams, thats it. 200HP.
