16T will work just fine, well it will fit just fine with out any issues. But I'm not sure if you'll need some tuning work done to run the turbo with out damaging anything though.

The gains you'll get from a 16T will be pretty minimal from what I've read. Why not go with something a little bigger like an 18T? iPd already has the tuning for that turbo.

you probably wont notice any gains from a 16T, as said. installation will be simple though....and no you dont need a tune to run it. You can find used 16T all day on some of the other forums for 250 or less.

I wouldn't waste the time going from a 15G to a 16T if you can find a 15G cheaper.

The biggest advantage I see to going to a 16T from a 15G is that you can find the 16T with the angle flange instead of the straight flange.
