I did not bypass the coolant line to the throttle body, we get freezing fog and occasional snow here so I didn't want to have to worry about it, so I kept the coolant lines running to the throttle body.

And Captain Slow, I can relate when it comes to worrying about idle issues, I've had idle issues with many cars in the past and they are one of the most annoying things to deal with. Other than the high idle on cold starts, I have absolutely no issues with the car idling now. Hopefully that will ease your mind a little, I wanted to post my issues here so I could get some help and as you can see, it got sorted out. At very least, you could swap back to the stock throttle body and fix any idle issues that may have came from the throttle body swap. From what I gather from the system, the idle is completely controlled by the throttle body, there isn't any bypass valves or seperate sensors on the manitfold that dictate the idle other than the throttle body. So if you were having issues, it'd be an easy fix.
