i have a airtec fmic. i think the new ones go on no probs, mine was the first one they sold with fans on the front of the cooler and i cut 2 tiny 2cm sections of the in side of my 88 spec bumper took 2 mins to do, but the new ones have the fans on the back of the intercooler so you should be ok

It goes straight on mate, very easy to fit. Did have to cut a tiny bit off the bumper though

Straight forward fit with a 90-spec, slight cutting with 88-spec.

Mines the front fan edition and no probs with my 90-spec

u may have to bend the bonnet catch back a bit to get the bonnet to sit right or you may get nasty gashes in the top of the cooler,thats what ive heard alot on here anyway

I havent got that issue with mine. Even using bonnet lifters it doesn't catch it. It happened with the Pace cooler, but not the airtec.
