Where to buy a new wastegate/boost solenoid?

[notacharger]

I have a customer who experienced a small engine fire with his Turbo-T. One of the parts that was damaged is the wastegate/boost solenoid. The GM part number on it is 1997157. The part is discontinued and out of stock from GM. Does anyone know if these are available through any aftermarket vendors?

I think he's actually looking for the solenoid (mounted on the passenger valve-cover), not the actuator.

Notacharger... Gotta be new, or will used work?

QUIP6, I don't think that's the part. The part we need has 2 wires coming out of the top, and 2 vacuum ports, I believe. I'm far from a Turbo Regal expert, so I could be wrong.

NCTURBOS, I believe you're correct.

Thanks for all of the help thus far, everyone.

Used will work. Usually, we have to buy parts from a licensed vendor or commercial business. In this case, however, if there's no other option, they may let us buy private party. Not certain about that yet.

We have a few NOS solenoids.
