Look at pics of 16Gs and compare it to the turbo in question. Count the blades on the compressor wheel, note the angles, etc. For example, a 14b's blades are all the same height, while the 16g's blade heights alternate high/low. The vfaq has a turbo comparison page that should help. To see what the housings look like, check out any DSM vendors site for pictures.

Is it a small 16g or a big 16g or an EVO 16g?

I dont think you can easily tell those apart by looking at it. The wheel is the same configuration, just differen in size, IIRC>
