16-hours book time is for the NA cars.
The turbo cars with the 2-piece crossover pipe have a book time of 20 hours and the one-piece crossover pipe makes it 24 hours.
A mechanic who knows what he or she is doing can do it faster. Looking it up, the actual charged time for the clutch replacement on my '86 951 (one-piece crossover, book time 24 hours) was 17.5 hours.
