I have mine vented to the atmosphere and it really isnt that big of a deal. First, you only hear it when you are hitting your boost limit, so it you have it set around 10 psi or whatever you have, it is only going to be when you floor it. Mine is set to 22 psi and I only hear it above 4200 rpms and I am really gunning it. Second, as far as efficiency as long as you O2 is big enough having it recirculated isnt a problem. If your O2 and dpis on the small side or are restrictive then having it vented will make it better since some of the gases dont have to make there way through the dp. Since you have a three inch exhaust then it wont be a problem till you get 600+ horse where you could be maxing it out. So for now it is really a choice of if you want to be loud at WOT or nor so loud. Good Luck
P.S.
It wont heat up your engine bay unless it vents in there, just have the dump tube exit below the oil filter and you are fine, no heat issues.
