Default hows streetable is an 88mm turbo

Just finished my lq9 ls3 top end build and already want more. I plan to go with a TMS 370 and was thing of doing an 88mm turbo build but dont know how streetable it is as a weekend vehicle or cruise it to work a couple times a week 30 mins away.

And is an on3 88mm worth it or just too junky?

I don't think turbos make things streetable or not. It's how you drive and the motor spinning the turbo. Look at foose, 7 hour road trip.

I don't exactly daily drive my pt88mm 6.0 Camaro due to the fact I drive my truck more often, but

It gets 23mpgs highway, idles like butter and even with the 3600 converter seems nice driving around in town.

Street ability will be more dictated by the cam/converter/ and how well the SD tune is. Here is a few videos of my car

This first video was on a 212 mile cruise, I did a few more racing as well on another video that getting uploaded later
