i live in mass and my old 93 coupe ran has had it bypassed for about 5 years now with no issues.

the thing to do would be to loop the lines.

I've got mine bypassed right now. It's a little cold out (Close to 0deg Centigrade) so I just have to feather the throttle until it warms up.

I've bypassed the coolant to the TB as well. It seems to work alright once the engine gets warmed up a bit.

EDIT: If you want I'll take some pictures when I get home.
