Boost-By-Pass Valve Replacement

So recently I have this problem where I can only boost 3-4lbs, so I disconnect the boost-vac line from the boost-by-pass valve and what do you know full boost So I go to my dealer and tell them the problem and they replace the sensor. When I get the car back I have the same issue, once again I take the boost vac line and I have full boost again (essentially the boost by-pass mod). So now I'm thinking could it be the valve itself?

The Boost-by-pass valve is circled in red.

Where can I find the replacement part? I've looked on gmparts direct and they only have the sensor for replacement.

Lol, it'll be here tomorrow. I've sold a couple, I found another one the other day when looking for something else in the garage. Didn't think I had anymore.
