fire ring question!!!!!!
I have one of those ebay imitation tial external wastegates and it works perfectly fine but i have never had the fire ring in it and the turbo is really laggy because of it. I could never figure out how it fits between the maifold and the wastegate So bascially i know the ring will fit in the bottom of the wastegate but the other end has like a taper on it and with the fire ring in the bottom of the wastegate it wont fit flush on the manifold? So how does it fit between the manifold and wastegate? I took a couple pics to kinda expain what my problem is.
thats the flange the wastegate came with and the smaller part of the fire ring looks like it would fit in there fine but the flange on my mainifold it would end up sitting kinda like this pic below.
basically with the fire ring in the bottom of the wastegate and stitting on the manifold there would be about a 8th of a inch gap still there between the manifold and wastegate
