RE: Throttle Body Heater Bypass Benefits
You won't see any benefit other than the one you mentioned...no more chance of leaking. For the cost of the $20 throttle body kit I just went ahead and changed it out to prevent any future problems, I know a few on here have bypassed theirs though.

I bypassed mine just so i didnt have to go out and get the new kit and waste time. All I did was take a small piece of copper pipe that I had in the house, I think 3/8ths thick, and used a small can to bend it into the shape of a U. Then I connected the two hoses that go into the throttle warming plate together. Works perfectly and there isnt a chance of it leaking so I would recommend it.
As for an increase in HP, it does sound somewhat logical, however I dont think it works in practice. At least I havent noticed any difference. Hope that helps.

Are there photo diagrams of how to do this or a write up? I can't find what I'm looking for in the search.
If you don't see an hp benefit why are you even bothering? Is there another benefit to doing this? I don't live in a cold climate so this may be a benefit, I guess. Sounds logical.
