It should should be in the neighborhood of 220-225hp at the wheels with a manual tranny. A 15% drivline loss for a manual transmission is the industry standard. Auto's are typcically around 20%. Since the transmission is placed very close to the differential in the boxster I would assume it may be slighty more efficient than say a corvette or something similar that uses a long heavy drive shaft to transfer power to the diff and then the rear wheels.
