Why would you have to change anything? The Boxster S is the same tranny as the 996. The 3.2L engine has 50 less ponies then the 996 engine,there should at least be 50hp of safe playing room for the tranny. Plenty of 996 folks tune their cars to 350+hp w/o changing anything on the tranny w/o a single issue.
*On a side note
If I remember correctly,Todd(guy who is always putting 996 engines in his 986) has been using the 2.5L tranny with his 3.6L and it's worked out fine. His tranny that was meant to handle 200hp, it's handling 300+ without an issue,the 986 S better be able to handle more then 2.5L 986.
