Default Throttle body hose?

I attached a picture of my throttle body... well for now, I plugged that hose comming out of my throttle body... I think its the return of the water from the engine to the bottle that is connected to my radiator... for now I plugged it off... its not connected to anything... what did u guys do to it?

Thanks

You can leave that open if you reroute the coolant from the vent tube in the top of the heads to the rad or upper rad hose. Coolant is routed through this.......
