Default TB by-pass in cold climate?

As anyone done the TB by-pass proceedure on a car in a cold climate? I was going to do this mod when I lived in Florida (no brainer)...now I live in West Virginia.

I have been running the TB bypass for 2 years in NY winters.

No problems that I can see.

Your TB will still run around 100 degrees or more, it shouldn't be a problem. Now if you lived in Alaska or so, maybe then it could be a problem. I don't know anybody who has had their throttle body ice over from running the bypass.

Did you buy the kit or do it with miscellaneous hose fittings?

Thanks. I'd like to think if you haven't had problems in CT, I should be ok here in WV.
