it depends, what are you trying to achieve using what electronics?
If you are looking for something simple with just an "ON/OFF" control for stock boost or to bleed off a fixed amount from the wastegate line, then you have to T into the wastegate line, and use the solenoid to bleed off air, using a restrictor to limit the amount bled off. This will be a "hit and miss" affair to get the right boost level...
If however, you are looking for complete electronic control of the solenoid (which is a Pulse Width Moduled signal controlled device), then you will have a much better boost control system. If you give the solenoid a PWM (or duty cycle %) signal, it will pulse accordingly and work like a tap - ie, a 50% duty cycle will open the solenoid 50%.
THere is a pretty cheap kit available from Jaycar Electronics which controls these solenoids in this exact way, drop me a PM if you have questions.
If you want proper boost control, the second option is the only way. You can get these solenoids from some Nissan engines like the RB series (afaik), and some others.... but you can also buy them new (i have a contact locally ~AUD$150).
