They both use a opposed flat engine layout. The WRX is a turbocharged 4 cylinder, the Boxster is a N/A flat 6.

Maybe your friend is an idiot and meant that they both have boxster engines. The WRX has a boxster engine because of the orientatation of the cylinders and the Boxster has a Boxster engine because...well, it's a Boxster.

You mean boxer not boxster. The name Boxster is a combination of boxer and roadster.

Right, that still could be what his friend thought though.
