Throttle body inlet

Does anyone offer a throttle body inlet flange with a ridge on it to hopefully hold the boot better under boost? Accel throttle body, I'm sure I can have one made up, but curious of offerings. Hopin to be around 14 psi.

I have that same throttle body and had a local shop weld a bead around the end.

I'd probably just weld a bead around the inlet..
