Summary
The Nostrum Volkswagen Audi 2.0 TFSI EA888 Gen 3 High Pressure Fuel Pump is the fuelling answer for a Gen 3 EA888 that has been mapped hard and is asking for more than the factory pump can hold. It flows 36% more than the standard unit and is rated to 200 bar, arriving fully assembled with direct fitment and flow tested in house before it ships, so there is nothing to build up on the bench. On an Audi A3 or S3, or a Mk7 Golf R, the practical gain is a rail that holds its pressure through the whole pull instead of dropping away and forcing the calibration to back off. Nostrum quotes a supported potential of 700 whp on petrol and 540 whp on E85 for a fully built car, which is a ceiling for the fuel system rather than anything the pump does on its own.
Best For
Gen 3 A3, S3 and Mk7 Golf R cars on an aggressive map that are out of rail pressure
Owners committing to full pump E85 rather than dabbling with blends
Builds that want the fuel side settled before a turbo or intake change
Anyone who would rather fit a finished, flow tested assembly than a piston kit
Why Nostrum Points At Full E85 Rather Than A Blend
Nostrum's own guidance on this pump is to go to full pump E85 rather than sit on an intermediate E30 to E50 mix, which it flags as the problematic middle ground on this engine. It is worth knowing before you plan the build, because the fuel you settle on changes the calibration strategy and how much of the pump's extra capacity you actually use.

Fitment And Setup Checks
Nostrum publishes this pump for the North American market A3, S3 and Mk7 Golf R, so on a UK or European car the sensible step is to check your existing pump part number and engine code against the application before ordering. A tune is required, with COBB and HP Tuners named as the recommended calibration suites. Browse the rest of the range in the Nostrum High Performance collection if you also need injectors or an ethanol sensor, and send Hoonies the details on imports or modified cars first.

Frequently asked questions
Is any assembly needed?
No. It ships fully assembled and flow tested, with installation instructions. Nostrum describes it as direct fitment for the applications above.
Can I run an E30 blend on it?
You can run ethanol, but Nostrum's recommendation for this engine is full pump E85 rather than an intermediate blend. Agree the fuel with your calibrator before the map is written.
Will a Gen 1 or Gen 2 pump fit a Gen 3 car?
No. The Gen 3 EA888 uses its own pump, which is why this part is separate from the CCTA, CBFA and Rest of World pumps for the earlier engine.
