Just want to share my experience with my turbo V clamp:
Noticed a little low MP on my left engine (Seneca II ). Turn out to be a loose/broken V clamp that connects the exhaust to the turbocharge.
After deep investigation found out that is better not to use a used one and to replace it with new.
Continental sells them for more than $400 each , while other sells them for about $300+ .
Found the same part from rajay turbo for $78 . As I need 4 of these clamps ( 2 each engine) , this is a huge amount difference.

This is quite typical of OEM vs aftermarket and a very involved owner can save $$$$ by researching parts sourcing.
Thanks! Mooney only recently advises swapping those clamps on my M20K 252 every 500 hrs, they come in at € 500,00 each… Are these clamps certified for use on an EASA registered plane?
