Lots of web speculation on TB coolant lines. The lines are there to keep the TB warm, obviously. The impact on performance is negligible so don't expect any gains from plugging them.
You said the line coming off the bottom of your thermostat housing was plugged. that line appears to go to the TB. I wonder if a previous owner didn't cap the line or plug it intentionally and you simply discovered that sludge has been collecting there over time as a result.
