996choy,
It's perfectly streetable, just like the other levels you mentioned. It's not like there is so much power the slightest amount of throttle results in massive wheelspin or anything like that or that you can not modulate the power. The car is extremely responsive and very smooth with it's power delivery and has a great deal of power on tap if called for. You have to deliberately try to break the wheels loose if you want to, so it's not at all hard to control. When you want to feel some turbo boost - it delivers hard and immediately (I have the 700 with fuel pumps and injectors - it makes a difference, the non fueled version is not as responsive). I think a GT2 with these turbos and tuning would be a handful.
In short - This is a daily driver for me and I log about 15,000 miles a year in 9 months. I travel highway, country roads and some city every day. I do not feel the car is less streetable at all.

Glad your happy.
I still stand by my statement. If you were willing to sacrafice some spoolup you will get more power with the K24 based turbo.
Zero clearance on the compressor side reduces compressor temps slightly. Depending on the intercoolers used that may or may not affect intake temps much.
The flow capibilities of the compressor (K24 in this case) are not changed by the zero clearance process. FWIW the Kevins stage3 wheel (super60T3) is a better choice for the K16 based turbo if you feel the need for more and still want to stay with K16's.
You should try to get some seat time in a K24/18G car with proper tuning and exhaust. Its a whole new world.

Question, what is the longevity of the engine with no internal upgrades/modifications running UMW (Kevin’s) stage 3 wheel (super60T3)....maybe the question should be what is the max safe HP/TQ before internal mods are needed?

You need more than a 5 bar FPR to get 700HP. You need injectors and if you have K16 car, upgraded fuel pump.
I think you will really like the K16/24 Hybrids. Nice spool and good power if you want to stay in the 500 WHP range.

GT3RS crank, custom Arrow rods, shuffle pin, bow tail, custom heads & cams, already have Gt2 oil pump (mine is an X50 car), plus some 
PS: the engine is already assembled!

Ryan,
haha. You are no closer to knowing what you want than you were a few months ago.
Call me when you get a chance.
