Default Wastegate Woes

Does anyone know where I can get the part circled in red in the included picture? My wastegate is a 38mm Turbosmart Ultra-Gate and it's missing that piece...I beleive it goes in the wastegate port against the header and it seals the piston to the gate body so that it fully closes, without it it will leak exhaust through the dumptube all the time and fully open at full boost...I lost on where to get something like this, I may just make one with two spacers and some custom cut gaskets from the DIY gasket material.

Thanks in advance!

I don't see a picture but I believe you are referring to the fire ring. Your best bet is to call up the manufacturer and see if they can sell you just the part you need. I wouldn't attempt to make your own. If it is anything like my Tial, it is a close interference fit with the wastegate itself.

I want to say it is the Valve Seat but I can't be sure. Again, it would be most helpful to call them up and make sure you get the right part.

I found a picture of one, that's it! But $38+ shipping from spooledmotorsports.com sucks, but I gotta have it, my radiator and slim 14" fan just got here from Mishimoto, and $40 isn't gonna stop me from finishing this project, so I just ordered it.
