NEED HELP swappin 03 wrx help me get my car on the road

hey guys blew my motor awhile back and its a 03 wrx. well i bought a motor off someone in my area its a 97 legacy TT which i believe that would make it a EJ20H right? well i coneverted alot of the lines to get it back to a single turbo setup using alot of the wrx parts. now im at a hold up. well i went to put the wrx intake manifold on and there a little different to the heads so my Question is do i use the manifold off the Legacy or was i supposed to swap the heads to my wrx ones? help would be greatly appreciated..thanks Guys

I think you need TGVs. the WRX had them and the EJ20H or EJ20R or whatever doesnt.

Goes between the intake mani and heads.

What blew in your WRX motor? Maybe you can combine and make a frankenstien?
