WTB: Need stock(?) boost solenoid

I think I fried mine back when I was screwing around with a Boost Monkey. ('member those?) I just built a ball-n-spring MBC after throwing away the Monkey, so I never really dealt with my stock BC.

Now I bought an AP, so I would love to go back to the ECU-controlled boost control, but when I hook things back up, I get base boost only. (7lbs or so) I have made sure the resistor is out of the circuit (the one that stops the "boost controller missing" CEL) and it looks like I'm getting some signal at the plug to the boost controller based on just hooking my multimeter up to it while in tone mode, I hear the duty cycle increase while accelerating under load.

Any ideas on a good solution to getting another boost solenoid?
What's the GM solenoid solution I've heard people talking about?
Can I pick something up for $20 down at ADAP? :-D

Any advice welcome!

Nevermind - bought a GM boost solenoid for $12!

Got it mounted and wired, now just have to figure out a good AP duty-cycle map for the GM solenoid. I'm also planning on putting it between the compressor and wastegate instead of the stock bleed method.
