A manual cluster may work in a tiptronic car, but it won't show the gear selection information. So I suggest that you avoid doing that. There are plenty of Boxster clusters for sale.

I believe the S cluster will work in a base car, but you may want to check if the analog speedometer shows a higher top speed. If it does, you will probably have a slight analog speedometer error. It may not be noticeable. The digital speedometer will be accurate.

Here's a link to a post with information on programming a Carrera gauge cluster to work in a Boxster. You can use the same information to program a cluster that you swap from one Boxster to another. http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/43017-carrera-gauge-swap.html
