"The TB stop mod is probably a waste of time"

Why? If your TB is not opening 100%, then your leaving power on the table. 2 minutes with a dremel and a voltmeter and you're done.

I don't really think so. Take a look at how thick your TB shaft is, and you will see what I mean. The amount the blade is not opening would have to be enough to "eclipse" more than that, and it is a good couple of mm thick. A few TB porters have even said that there have been no proven gains from that mod.

I would do them, except the MAF. Leave it alone.. Porting the TB done right helps.
