I posted some information on the 996 to 986 cluster swap in this thread on Rennlist:

I cannot say exactly which car your cluster came out of, but it is what I refer to as a "new style" cluster in my instructions and it should be compatible with your 2002 Boxster. If someone can read the code on the EPROM for you, the VIN will be in it. You can use one of the VIN decoding web sites to determine the model of car in which the cluster started life.

Good luck.
