cylinder heads differences HELP!

I'm replacing my cylinder head on my 03 Evo 8 and there is a difference in the heads. I'm not sure how this new head is routed. The original head has only a single outlet press fitting the new head has a larger with a T.

New Head unknown year


Original Head 03 Evo 8

that "T" feeds the water for the throttle body.
you could just make your own pipe for that, no worries

Just cap the bigger nipple and use the smaller just like the stock was setup. As a fyi its a jdm head of some sort. My jdm head off a airtrek looks like that.

that large section of the "T" feeds the heater core inside the firewall.

Thxs for the responses, guess if the head lines up I'll just cap off the larger and roll with it.

Thank you
