Is this flange a "Fire Ring" ? (PIC-TiAL 60mm Wastegate)
I literally asked Tial sport on IG and FB and got no response, the piece in question is this removable thing on the bottom of the gate. Do I need it, this unit is going on a Sheepey built sidewinder. I'm not bolting it up till I know, I hace no idea what it does or if I need it? it comes out pretty easy. I'm guessing it's a weld ferrule?

some also call it the seal ring, because that is what the valve physically seals against. it comes out fairly easy when brand new. after a bunch of use, it still comes out, just not always as easy. It is a replaceable and wearable part. I've never needed to replace one, but they do wear over time, and can/should be replaced if it wears past a certain point. or if it gets damaged somehow of course
