Danger To Manifold or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Boost.

Not only did they not have tips, the guy behind the counter had never even heard of solder wick. I had to google it and show it to him on my phone.
Suffice to say, I'll be making the long drive into town to shop at a real hardware store from now on.

guess they raised prices after they close all their stores -- cause that's good business.

I used that for years and years and years.

+1 on the Radio Shack irons.
All the Radio Shack stores around my area are still open, thankfully. They've even kept the Radio Shack brand name.
Of course, I'm they're nightmare customer -- the guy that comes in to buy a package of resistors for $0.76 when they really want to be selling cellphones or something.

Depending on where you are in California Fry's Electronics might be an option as well. They aren't what they used to be in the electronics area but last time I was at my local Fry's they still had a bunch of stuff that you couldn't easily find anywhere else. They have saved my bacon many times.

The diypnp grounds a 12v feed to switch the valve on, so you can use the evap line as that ground line. You have to use the boost transistor circuit, though, not direct. PA0 -> boost in, boost out -> then to ecu jumper.
I think there's 12V right there too, at least on my 1.6. Pretty sure that's how the evap solenoid works, anyway. Too bad it's not meant for boost stock.

Does this valve actually work reliably when PWMed for EBC? Never tried it.
