Where's the skeleton sitting on a bench meme when you need it? LOL
Hopefully this will be a quick process, but history has taught me not to hold my breath.

Well, if you know what it is from a reputable source, please enlighten us. I repeated what's been said about the mod. Seems logical to me, but I'm open to having my understanding adjusted.

Read my posts, the throttle freezing up is not physically possible

Old farts. Did you all let your horses warm up too before attaching them to your carriage?

Yes by fucking them in the ass.

I hear what you're saying, and I don't think the throttle plate would literally be frozen shut. But we all know what the cold does to electrical systems. Notice how much slower your car turns over in the winter due to temperature's impact on the battery and starter? Same thing with servo-actuated mechanisms, like our throttle plate. The cold is definitely is harder on everything electrical.

Any electrical engineers in here who can unpack this further?

Definitely not an electrical engineer, but a battery is an electrochemical system, that's why it's affected. Chemical reactions typically happen slower at lower temperatures. A servo is an electromechanical system. The cold may thicken up the grease used in the gears, slowing it down, but shouldn't affect the electrical portion at all.
 
The number one enemy of electrical components is heat, so other than your battery, the rest of the electrical system is just fine in the cold. Any negative effects on a TB from cold would be mechanical in nature.

Up here in Canada we don't typically keep the throttle body by passed in winter when it gets down to -20C car shutters and doesn't want to drive until the engine is warmer, mainly starting from stopped

Bingo, thanks for the info that its the same problem as a carb. Seems like fuel injection may work better but still reaches a point where it needs help

I personally haven't run it the winter just have friends that have, and they said they've had issues around the 5F or lower mark, again once engine was warm no issues. I personally only ran it down to about 20F with no issues noted.

Yes, I agree. Though not an electrical engineer myself, I had to complete a masters-level electronics principles training for my job in the USAF, and learned a lot - ~500 hours of instruction. Running wires that are too small for the job is the perfect example of heat being an issue: too small wires can melt (or even vaporize) the insulation. This helped me with car audio stuff, and also when I redesigned and wired my methanol kit.

Anyways, so when we hear that some cars in colder climates SHOULDN'T run the TB bypass, we're hearing the truth. That's exactly what I thought, even though I wasn't aware of the explanatory minutiae as it relates to TB's/fueling systems.

I don't run one either....and neither did my old roommate. You don't need the coolant going through the TB to make it run. No offense (well please take some offense) but you do not live in a cold climate so your opinion is NULL as far as I'm concerned on topics related to cold climates.
 
I only brought the coolant bypass up because I think the product would be a little less expensive to make/buy. For those that do the bypass, it would also look better than capping off the coolant ports and it's easier to take off of the car. I didn't intend to start a debate on whether or not the bypass was good or bad. Would it be a deal breaker for anyone either way? probably not... Personally, I'd rather it look cooler and cost less though... Corksport wasn't asking for opinions, so we will get what we get when they are ready to release it.
 
Soo... about a combo package of a corksport turbo, intake manifold, and throttle body... 2 weeks?
