Will this affect anything? Throttle body seal?

Im wondering if this is a seal or if its just some sort of dust protector. Will this cause a vacuum/boost leak? Or is it cosmetic purely?

general rule of thumb: if it mates metal to metal, there should be a gasket.

Oh, ok. Shouldn't affect any thing seein as how it hooks up to your TPS. If there was gonna be a leak, the sensor should seal it off.
