16t is larger, is it means 16t more power?

No it doesn't mean more power. It means it can handle more power. Just by adding a bigger turbo to your car wont make you gain more power. However the bigger turbo will boost better then what your small turbo is now. Meaning it will be more efficient then your smaller turob is now.

No

A bigger turbo is more efficient, but it wont give you more power just by slapping it on your car.
