I have a Tial 44mm v-band wastegate with a DNP exhaust manifold. My issue is I can't get the v-band clamp to fully close. It's as tight as it will go and theres a small gap remaining. If I put the clamp on only 1 item then it closes all the way but when I combined the manifold and wastegate it will not close. I lightly sanded the manifold v-band flange and cleaned everything but it didn't make a difference. I searched for an answer and got mixed results. Some say it should close and some say there should be a small gap. I'm worried it won't seal with a gap. Please take a look at the pics and let me know. Thanks
