turbine housing? or turbo?

I want a new turbo but, is it worth it to settle for the 16cm turbine housing? how much lower will the E.G.T. be with the bigger turbine housing? and is there any other advantage with it?

Depending on what you're doing with the truck you might not like the slow spool up of the 16. No big deal if you are towing for miles on end on the interstate but not so good in city traffic.
I only ran a 16 for a week before opting for a 14
