I have always thought that the b16 can handle more boost because of the thickers walls on the block.

yep, and Dave Hickman also agrees...I was gonna send him my b18a block to get built for boost, but the dude would not stop telling me I would be better off with a b16 for boost, check him out, and give him a call, dudes smart as shit, www.dh-racing.com
