That is some serious corrosion. Just reading through your post I was thinking "just clean it up and run it" but when I got down to the pics I don't know if I would or not.
The one I have on my '98 I bought from a fellow that thought it was bad and he sold it to me in pieces for $100. I put it back together, checked it out, and put it on. I have put over 100K on it since then with no issues.
As to the solenoid, I don't know if you'll be able to use it without some sort of "controller". I put a spring gate on mine, after boring it out, of course.

I ended up ditching the rod/spring and hooked a Yosh exhaust spring:

on the welded-on bracket and the shaft lever. It opens at almost 35psi boost. Don't know what drive pressure since I've never had a DP gauge.
