1.) Thats not a 16g, its a 14b or 13g judging by the compressor wheel
2.) No you can not use a t25 wastegate, and look at the classifieds for a used one
3.) I would suggest replacing that hotside but ehhh I'd rock it if i had no other choice.

That's normal bro for the cracking! As long as it doesn't go thru to the outside you will be fine. It seals up when your running the car and it heats up. I agree that's a 14b comp wheel! It's not really to bad I've seen worse! I have worse! You should port and Polish that sucker and throw it back on! Get it to look like this bro. Here's a pic of the 14b vs big 16g wheel!

The serial number on the compressor housing is for a 14b. Cracks on the hotside are normal, and I've seen worse.

49178-01(40)0: 14B
49178-01(41)0: Big 16G
49178-01(42)0: Big 16G
49178-01(45)0: Evo I Big 16G
49178-01(46)0: Evo II Big 16G
49178-01(47)0: EVO III 16G

49178-01(52)0: Small 16G

Not sure where you found those, but I'm pretty sure these are the correct serial #'s for the 14b:

14B
49178-01010
49178-01030
49178-01400
49178-01410

If you look at post #5, Justin the mod corrected him on that exact false statement.

You can run it like that, but if you're changing it, might as well get a new housing. Cost 120$ new on ebay.
