It simply does not make economic sense. It is vastly cheaper to sell the Tip car and buy a manual version.

...you better have a complete car to swap from as its not just a trans, clutch, hydraulics, etc.

I did an auto-to-manual swap on a Honda a couple years ago and I can tell that on a Boxster, it will be a lot more complicated and expensive.
The only way that it would make sense is if you are doing it for the joy of the challenge and have a car to pull all the parts from.
My guess is that the chassis mounting points and holes for wiring and hydraulics are all (mostly) there already. It will involve converting the plumbing for cooling, replacing the engine wiring harness, some relays and wiring, pedals and clutch hydraulics, shifter and linkage, all the mechanical stuff from the flywheel through to the CV shafts, and more. The DME/ECU *might* tolerate it with a few minor tweaks to the wiring, but it would be best to swap out the whole DME+Central locking unit+transponder.
