16 sec to 60mph is not normal. Not sure what is optimal but mine is around 6 sec - and I think everything is right with mine - and I have no egr or catalytic converter. Remove the rubber boot off the front of the turbo and reach in and spin it with your fingers - it should spin freely and have just the tiniest amount of fore/aft play - I'm not sure of the spec, but its a small fraction of a mm. My suggestion is to remove the air cleaner box and heat shield before fiddling around on that side of the engine. It saves a lot of time unless you have very small hands. And watch the waste gate actuator. It is easy to test - should move freely when pressure is applied. The replacement hose installed by lesser mechanics on the wastegate actuator is often rubber - it is supposed to be silicone. Lots of heat there and the rubber fails early. I've attached an image of the turbo fan taken with the accordion boot removed, just to give you a reference. This turbo is in good condition. Fans intact, spins freely.
