The Greddy kit has no BOV, so I don't consider it complete, either. Although it's certainly more complete than the InlinePRO.
That having been said, InlinePRO all the way. Do it right or not at all. I would assert that, even with the added cost of EMS and injectors, the InlinePRO is a better value.
Just my .02 (after reading threads for 2 weeks staright on this very subject!).

Hmmm, my set up has a BOV but doesn't vent to atmo either:
Are you saying it has no bypass/BOV at all and doesn't need one because of the low pressure, or that it has a bypass like mine and the Comptech setup?
Also, Vortech's SC has a BOV yet has CARB certification.

The Greddy kit doesn't have a BOV because it wouldn't be CARB legal, because it's venting gases to atmosphere. Granted it is not exhaust gas, but they don't care. It doesn't really need a BOV anyways. Going with the InlinePro kit isn't the right way to do it, it just depends on what you're looking to get out of it.

I hope not. The only way that could happen would be if there was a backfire in the intake manifold.
The whole "no vent to atmo' thing comes from the days of draw through carburettors. Air and fuel mixed before the turbo so the BOV was effectively ejecting a flamable mix.
The current rules are quite simple. If it comes in through a filter it leaves either via the exhaust or a another filter.

That smoke is quite often and could be "blowby fume" from the cam cover;
the combusted gas in the combustion chambers leaks through the piston rings, then track its way to the cam cover, out the cam vent, into the intake before the turbo, through the turbo and out the BOV
