You can do both. I prefer to vent to atm though, as it sounds like a Demon! People want to move out of the way when you here open gates coming toward you. But some prefer the quietness and want the sound of the turbo more pronounced, so they plumb it back into the exhaust. The downside to plumbing back in though is that you potentially lose HP. In some cases I've read up to 40hp re-routing back into the exhaust stream. That's a worst case scenario though, you might only lose a few hp.
