Not everybody cuts of the TP lever shaft when building a MVB; look at the throttle valve, if it extends from its bushing and moves under spring resistance, it's not a MVB but if it's below the level of the bushing, like in the pic below, it's a MVB.

Your spring retainer and lever stop will look different but the end of the valve will be the same.
