Turbo v band

Does anyone know the size or have a link of where to buy the v band clamp between hot and cold side? Car is a 2011 335i e90. I've searched a bunch and can't believe I can't find it. It's always the downpipe clamp. I just installed a ps1 and am getting an oil leak between the hot and cold side it looks like. So I tightened up the clamp hoping that stops it but the bolt on the clamp is bent now and I think I've compromised it's strength. Side note I replaced all the coolant and oil feed/drain lines and the turbo appears dry around all the new lines. Just have oil on the clamp. Could a semi loose clamp (wrench tight but not enough) when I installed it cause a leak?
