I know they use the same v-band Flange but are the clamps interchangeable also?

I Own a hypergate 45mm and i REALLY hate the v-band clamp for multiple reasons and i found an alternate clamp for the tial v44 here http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant...egory_Code=WGT Im trying to find out if this will work on the turbosmart wastegate also.

This is what I'm trying to find out too, I'm also trying to find out if the valve seat aka fire ring are also interchangeable.

You DO know those aren't the real TiAL V-band clamps, right? The real ones use an 8/32 and 8mm allen screw that's a higher grade steel. The fake ones have a tendency to snap the bolts after a while. eBay FTL

Materials , my good man.. materials. not just the bolt, but the clamps ability to take the heat abuse needed for the real thing.
