a number of variables - year, displacement, variocam. porsche moved the 996 from the 7.2 to 7.8 dme in 2002, but didn’t move the boxster until 2003. unfortunately, porsche also put the variocam+ system into the 996 at the same time, whereas it didn’t introduce it into the boxster until 2008 (the box kept the standard variocam timing). so, a 2003 or 2004 can’t run a 996 tune. fortunately (and pls verify, as i have no direct experience) the 2004 Special Edition anniversary edition boxster runs the 987 airbox and maf housing on the same engine as a standard 2003/04, so that is the tune i would use in that case. if you have a 99 or earlier i am not sure how well the 3.4 tune would work on a 2.5 (ditto and 2.7 or 2.9). a 996 tune to 01 works great on my 2000 S, and should work no problem on a 2001. if you have a 2002 you should be ok with an earlier 996 tune as well.
