Default Water header might be busted.. need to find replacement?

Hey chaps i have an 02 bug eye wrx wagon. I think the water header on top (above the turbo just in front) has seen better days and may be allowing coolant to escape when heated up. I checked pipes and they are ok.. but I did a search for new ones and they seem to be hard to find.
I found this on eBay and wondered if anyone swapped for one and did you find if was Ok? Alternatively can I get a new one because I've asked about and it's rare to find it seems.

So will that be ok in an 02 bugeye? It says updated version but I'm clueless there tbh as to whether it'll fit.

Cool beans just read the ad and it says 00 to 07 bugeye so sounds perfect and looks much better design.
I'm going to grab that and numerous other bits as I decided to have my block rebuilt forged. Don't want anything tired going in there tbh. Mishimoto sell a bunch of new coolant lines too it seems.

Fitted earlier in the week. Went on without any hassles and much tidier. Cracked the lid off the old one and my god it was bubbled and rusty to hell inside. One less potential problem solved!
