The 3.2 can be put into your boxster and you don't need to upgrade to egas. I helped a fellow in the UK do it. You can contact him on renntech his id is Kanin.

As stated the 3.2 is no easier than the 3.4 so unless you get the 3.2 really cheap, not really worth it.

As for the intake limiting the hp of the 3.4 transplant. Simply not true. My old 3.4 put down better hp at the wheels than a 3.4 996 on the same dyno on the same day.
