I recently visited ARD's site to poke around and I saw that the old Orange, Green, Blue, and whatever other color ECU remaps were gone and now there is just one-at least as far as S70's go. I also saw that the price is significantly lower than before. If somebody could shed some light on this I would appreciate it. At that price I might just bite given that after a couple things my car will be true stage 0. Before the change at ARD I was looking at the most mild tune they offered (30 more HP I think), so I wonder what this new one is. It looks to push the engine pretty hard offering 50 more HP and 50+ more lbs torque. I'm not looking to blow baby up, just have a bit more fun.

ARD-ECU Price drop, just one tune option now?

I'll ask Lucky what's up with the changes.
(I should have a new custom tune from ARD back in the mail sometime this week. E-85 fuel compatible, SAS delete, tuned for white injectors, R exhaust manifold, MBC.)

Hiya Jeremy. Got the ECU in the mail yesterday, but I haven't been able to unwind my 850 because she needs a front O2 sensor. 
I was getting odd, very infrequent P04xx codes for some time, and when I popped in the ARD ECU yesterday *bam* P0130. Reset and *bam* P0130 again within 2 miles. It felt like I went from a calculator to an octo-core workstation, diagnostically speaking
Bosch O2 sensor is on its way.

Lucky at ARD:
"Tune colors have been changed out to use basic Stage upgrade reference since we're changing our approach to tuning slightly."
My interpretation:
"So many tunes going out our doors were unique enough that marketing categories became superfluous, so we nuked them."
