If I'm not mistaken, putting a 3.2 in a non e-gas 97 boxster requires a lot of hassles with ECU swaps and other stuff. A non e-gas 3.4 is a straightforward swap (or more straightforward). So, what the shop told you they put in might well be what they put in the car.

If you can't see the differences, just swing by a dealership or an independent Porsche shop and ask them to tell you what's under the convertible top size-wise because you just bought the car and heard it has a larger engine in it. They'll know instantly.

If I were you, I'd get that car on a dyno and see what the HP and torque at the wheels is today. This will tell you a lot too, and give you a baseline for the future. You'll be adding intake, exhaust, and chip mods before long if you're anything like the rest of us!
