Blow Off Valve blows smokes!!!

I have a Greddy BOV and when I rev on the throttle it blows a huge amount of white, grayish smoke that floats up to the air. I thought the Bov was bad, but when I switch it with a friend HKS Bov it does the same. But afterwards it doesn't blow any more smokes.

Any help is needed....

car smoking? does it do it while the engine is semi cold? could be a turbo is leaking coolant witch is being heated and turns to mist/smoke with the BOV is venting.. could be a oil/coolant combo.... and what would make u thing a BOV would be bad because it vented smoke?...

I have found that too much oil in the crankcase can cause the turbo's to suck oil back in through the oil outlet side, causing the blowoff valve & tube to blow out excess oil and vapor (smoke). Also with too much oil in the crankcase will cause excessive poofs of black smoke from the exhaust during boost and transition to secondary turbo (if sequential), I'm not sure if you are experiencing that though..
