F16, the 16 refers to 160 ft.lbs being the max design torque of the gearbox.

thats just a myth tbh,
f16 should be fine on an xe, though most boxes are tired now.

Quite a few people have turbo'd C/X16's and use F15's so it should work but it would be wise to get a couple of spare ones just in case, as if the one on the engine is starting to get worn it could let go with the increased torque running through it.
