If I book through Turkish can I change it to a 016 ticket number as I believe I get additional PQM's or PQD's right?
Definitely cannot change to 016 after booking. You might call in and see if they can't print on 016 stock, but they probably don't have access to the fare you are seeking. This happens frequently with Air Canada where UA can only print full fare tix up front.
