Default TB bypass mod question...

I live in southern california, and I drive my car year round. During the winter it never drops below 35 degrees, and never snows in my area. Am I completely safe doing this mod? Thanks...

I went through 3 winters in Minnesota with the mod.
Granted the car wasn't daily driven, it did see as low as -20* went the roads were clean. (Boy, these cars are fast in cold weather too...)
If you have problems where you are, there is something wrong.

It's not difficult to reverse should you get icing problems...
