They won't even give the car a limited slip....

What I'm saying is that the 250hp 3.2 from 00-02 and the 280hp 3.2 from 05-06 probably have different internal components that allow for the difference and if you want the early engine to match the output of the later, it's going to take more than simple bolt-ons and an ecu tune.
Did Porsche mean for the Boxster to always have a lower output than the 911? Of course.
