Not that necessary for a turbo setup. What works well for naturally aspirated power doesn't always hold the same. Yeah, it might gain a little power, but really all you're doing is making a volumetric efficiency improvement by porting the throttle body. A turbo is a much bigger volumetric efficiency improvement, and will far override the effects of porting on a moderate power setup.
Basically it's not something to worry about unless you want to make fairly big power, and having a bored throttle body can definitely have bad effects on off-boost throttle response because it will slow down intake port velocity.

That will work just fine.
