If you don't buy the tune the car will try to read the MAF sensor. The car will not be connected with the MAF. The tune is necessary since Alpha N tune "deletes" MAF. I hope I am saying it correct, so if I made any mistakes, please correct me.
You can install the tune yourself, it is not something special, as long as you have a battery charger , because to load the tune makes more than one hour and the last thing you want to happen to you is to die the battery while uploading the tune. Also you will need a laptop with Windows.
Vanne has written a guide about how to do the whole installation by yourself also for the Airbox. It has helped me a lot.
Vanne and inTgr8r are right. If you want the noise you are ok.
