Ben.
It can be (and is) vented to the atmostphere, but if you mean before the MAF input then you need a temporary opening valve that needs to shut after the dump. Not really sure how they work. But I guess they have a tricky adjustment to get 'enough' air dumped.

Before or after intercooler should be fine, I guess before is slightly better to retain the heat loss when it rebuilds the pressure. After means losing more of the colder air.
