There's a bit more to it than that.

What rear diff are you going to use?

If using the diff that comes with the box you'll need to change the rear hubs and shafts too. You'll also need to change wheels as those hubs are 114x5 pcd.


The most simple way to fit that box to your p1 is to keep the rear as it is and just swap the 4.44 R160 to a UK 3.54 R160 Diff. That will pair up with the box nicely and is the most hassle free way of doing the conversion.

If you've already got the bits then I'd swap the lot, front and rear. Hubs as well and run 114 pcd wheels. Everything is upgraded and stronger then.
