2003 - 2008 all have the same DME so a 2006 should be a straight swap.

From Pelican Parts: Boxster Tech Articles - Engine Swap

Boxster & Cayman 2003-08 (2.7L / 2.9L / 3.2 S)

The 2003 and later Boxster and Cayman cars can accept any 996/997 3.6 Carrera engine, and any Boxster or Cayman engine from 2003 and later. The best solution for more horsepower is to swap in
a 3.6 or 3.8 996 or 997 engine. You can swap in any replacement engine of the same displacement from 2003-08 without having to remap the DME. (I.E. a 2003 Boxster 2.7L with a blown motor can
accept a 2005 2.7L engine with no remapping needed).
