Mike Licht at Full Throttle Speed was selling one that would work, I believe.

Somebody (turbofish?) found one on a later truck that was supposed to work, can't find the thread at the moment. Plenty of used ones available.

VORTEX BUICK:
The factory solenoid has been discontinued.  This number,   ACD214-1073 which was used on the turbo diesels, will work in its place and is a lot cheaper than the $100-$200 that some vendors have been asking.  I understand the connector does not lock as original but the connector does plug into the solenoid.  This solenoid has two ports just like the original.

Do away with the Y-Connection...and hook a vacuum hose from the port on the turbo directly to the actuator. Leave the solenoid plugged in...or it'll kick a code.

Connector differences may require Caspers 108167 adapter.

I have a new original here if you need it for a show car but more but 2x the $30 price from Rock Auto which looks pretty close.
