I'm not sure if you are talking about the Cobb accesport, but if so you aren't supposed to use Cobb with ANY aftermarket intake. I would have bought Cobb a long time ago if it was ok to use with the Gen3

Uprev and cobb are the same for tuning. the cobb comes with reloaded maps which are not for intakes. This is why you need the custom tune,
when you by up rev you buy their maps and a custom tune as well. To uninstall uprev you have to go back to uprev.
install and uninstall with cobb is plug and play. Cobb also shows live data. Uprev does not. Unless you use a laptop with the set up

yeah I am thinking about getting the Hypertech Max Energy Sport, everyone that has used it had nothing but good things to say about it and it doesn't have the restrictions of the Cobb

cobb is restrictive on what setups you have...I guess you could use it with anything but they say dont use it with aftermarket intakes/etc
