I wonder if I can use 1.7kw starter for auto transmission on boxster with manual one.

Guess you assume these engines have the same flywheel.

This is almost universally never the case, as there's the little matter of there being a clutch or not.

Well, it sounds strange but Bosch part number is the same 0 001 123 001. The same I guess is mounting place and size. Maybe wires are different and relays within a car.
Bosch added confusion by not selling new starters for old cars. Only "re-manufactured" for -'03. Though new starter for new boxster/cayman '07- looks the same and price is roughly the same (but no core is needed)
