Sorry cheater, you did ask that before and I forgot to answer....
Its running 14lbs, it creeps up to around 15lbs from about 5500rpm onwards...
It used to creep up to 18-19lbs before I retarded the timing...
I think it would be fine as a street car, depending how you drive it... If you thrash it everywhere well then it wont last forever obviously. But If you drive like a normal car, and give it a small squirt every now and then it should be fine. Remember its not stressed when it not boosted...
The other thing also is that if it sits idling for 10-15mins then you take off or rev it up it does blow a cloud of smoke initially, as the inlet side of the turbo is on vacum and oil gets sucked into the inlet,(obviously the seal is not correct for the application) but doesnt get burnt till it revs up... I think if you where sitting at the lights for a minute or so it would be fine...
