Silver Bullet spacer for exact engine and intake requirements

The aFe 46-39002 Silver Bullet spacer is for the specified B8-platform Audi 2.0L turbo applications. Its plastic-manifold fasteners require a lower torque than many other spacer kits.

Key Features

  • 6061-T6 billet-aluminum serrated/helix entry design; claimed turbulence and reduced whistle do not guarantee an improvement on every setup.
  • 6061-T6 billet aluminum with serrated/helix entry.
  • Uses the retained manifold O-ring plus the supplied spacer seal and two-pin alignment.
  • Manufacturer power, response and whistle statements are claims, not guaranteed results.

Fitment

Years / source scope Model Exact requirements
2009–2016 Audi A4 B8 2.0L turbo four-cylinder; body/platform must match
2008–2016 manual scope Audi A5 B8 2.0L turbo four-cylinder; selected US search scope below

46-39002: The current product headline names A4; the exact linked manual additionally names A5 B8 2008–2016 2.0T. A selected 2010–2016 A5 search row is added within that documented range, with a retailer's exact 2010 A5 Quattro listing as corroboration. It is not a full global trim/body/drivetrain table. Existing A4 Cabriolet 2009 coverage is withheld because the B8 requirement is not established for that separate Cabriolet model cycle shown by Audi. A5 Sportback and other engines/platforms are not newly inferred.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 46-39002?

A model- and engine-specific Silver Bullet throttle-body spacer, not a complete intake or replacement throttle body.

Does it include a filter or coupling?

The exact parts list below governs. Generic manufacturer page fields do not establish a supplied intake filter or coupling for this spacer.

Are gains guaranteed?

No. Turbulence, throttle-response and whistle statements are manufacturer design claims, not guaranteed horsepower, fuel-economy or sound results for the actual engine.

Which sealing parts are used?

Keep the original manifold O-ring and ensure the new spacer's supplied O-ring is seated. AIR IN faces the throttle body; align the two locating pins with the spacer's smaller holes.

What is the correct torque?

The exact manual specifies 49 in-lb maximum. Do not exceed it: the intake manifold is plastic and excessive torque can damage it.

Are all original search rows certified?

The current product headline names A4; the exact linked manual additionally names A5 B8 2008–2016 2.0T. A selected 2010–2016 A5 search row is added within that documented range, with a retailer's exact 2010 A5 Quattro listing as corroboration. It is not a full global trim/body/drivetrain table. Existing A4 Cabriolet 2009 coverage is withheld because the B8 requirement is not established for that separate Cabriolet model cycle shown by Audi. A5 Sportback and other engines/platforms are not newly inferred.

Can another spacer’s instructions be substituted?

No. Gaskets, O-rings, brackets, screw sizes, control cables and intake restrictions differ by exact part number.

Does the EO reference cover every application?

The manufacturer states this product is not CARB exempt and is unavailable for purchase in California or use on vehicles registered with the California DMV.

Installation Instructions

  1. Read the exact manufacturer instructions for 46-39002, verify the actual engine, intake, hardware and applicable emissions scope before removal.
  2. Verify the B8 platform and 2.0L turbo engine. Remove the engine cover and locate the throttle body on the engine's driver side.
  3. Loosen the body clamp with a 7mm nut driver and disconnect the rubber boost tube.
  4. Remove the four factory throttle-body screws with the specified T30 Torx driver.
  5. Check the manifold and spacer O-rings, position AIR IN toward the body, and engage both locating pins in the smaller spacer holes.
  6. Secure with the supplied 70mm screws using the manual's 10mm driver. Tighten to 49 in-lb maximum; do not copy a higher torque from another spacer.
  7. Restore the boost tube, clamp and engine cover. Check/retighten fasteners as needed after 100 miles without exceeding the specified maximum.

46-39002: installation details and any unresolved source scope must be matched to the actual vehicle before use.
