Negative. The 2009 Boxster and Cayman 987.2 both got the completely redesigned 9A1 engine with excellent internals. The 2009 Base models retained the throttle body FI while the S models moved to DFI. In 2010 all 9A1 engines moved to DFI and gained a few ponies in the process, at least on paper.

I actually think the 2009 with 9A1 internals and throttle body FI is a great combination.
