External Wastegate Help
Ok, so a couple weeks ago my WG blew off my manifold, I bought a new one ( manifold ), etc. Of course after blowing off the manifold, I had to take off the old piece of the flange, and now I'm stuck with this:
That ring does need to be compressed into the WG correct? I tried using a quick clamp just to see if I could get it in there a bit and it really didn't do anything. Suggestions?

Thats the fire ring.
I just put it on there like you have it, and tighen'd it on the manifold.
I have no leaks, and I don't even have that gasket.(between manifold and wastegate.)
For what it's worth, I have a Tial 38mm.

Re: External Wastegate Help
If that was pressfit in there, it must have come off when the flange was hot. You'll probably have to heat the flange to get it back in. What kind of wastegate is that?
