Can anyone here point me to a comprehensive list of tweaks for fs2004? If I google with the term 'tweaks for fs2004' I only see fragmentary bits of information. The tweaks and tips forum above isn't any better than that.

Welcome back to The Great Unwashed of FS2004. 
To me, the obvious first changes are to make sure you install the FS9.1 update and the "No CD" patch.
The next thing I would install is FSUIPC.
After that, you might want to concentrate on your "skybox", sun, clouds, and water textures. There were also some handy updates for things like stars and the moon. These were downloads that used to be listed at flightsim.com as "must haves" for FS9. After that, I would be looking at updated mesh and ground textures in the parts of the world you want to be more detailed.
After that, it really depends on what Era you're shooting for.
1900's, 1930's, WWI, WWII, 1950's, etc.
I switched over to FS9 from FS2002 back in 2015-ish and I'm still building things out.

I should have been more specific: I meant tweaks for the fs9.cfg to improve performance and get rid of the blurring.

Q) How can I make my DVC gauges look more crisp?A) To make your DVC gauges look more crisp add these line under FS9.CFG [PANELS] section:VIRTUAL_COCKPIT_TEXTURES_SCALE=2.0This might not work on all video cards.
Nick's tweak guide for FS9?
Does anyhow have a copy of this they could upload somewhere? I can't find any working links. I'm after the FS9 guide, not the FSX version.

You may also find the tweaks and optimization settings including that pertaining to FSUIPC (now freeware for FS2004) useful, as found in the videos suggested by Robin, in the user manual of TOGA Projects' environment improvement package - FE9 (available on avsim f/l):
