Summary
Stage 1 is Nostrum's complete direct injection fuelling package for the FA20DIT: the upgraded high pressure fuel pump, flowing 37% more than the factory unit, plus a serialised set of four direct injectors flowing 10% more than stock, supplied with their tuning data. Buying them as one item is the point - the pump lifts the mid range where volume is the constraint, the injectors lift the top end where injection time is, and doing half the job usually just moves the limit. Everything stays under factory ECU control on COBB.
Best For
A WRX or Forester XT going all-in on fuelling in one session rather than paying for the engine bay to be opened twice.
Cars committing to pump E85, where both the delivery and the injection sides need to move together.
Bolt-on builds - intake, intercooler, low pressure pump - that have reached the ceiling of the standard fuel system.
Owners who want the pump and injectors matched and characterised by the same manufacturer, with one set of tuning data.
Why The Pump And Injectors Are Bought Together
A direct injection fuel system fails you in two places. Around peak torque the cam-driven pump cannot supply enough volume, so rail pressure sags when boost comes in. Near peak power the crank angle per injection event gets short, and that is the injector's problem. Fit the pump alone and the car pulls harder early but still tails off; fit the injectors alone and the mid range stays soft. Stage 1 addresses both at once.
Planning The Rest Of The FA20DIT Fuel System
This package covers the high pressure side. The in-tank low pressure pump, fuel lines and calibration are separate, so factor those in - a car on E85 in particular will want the low pressure side checked. Nostrum quotes 620 whp on gasoline and 460 whp on E85 as the capacity of this fuel system on a build that already has the air handling, mechanical strength and tuning to use it.

Fitment And Setup Checks
The package covers the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX and the 2014-2018 Forester XT running the FA20DIT 2.0 turbo. A calibration is required and COBB is the recommended suite; arrange the tuning slot when you order so the car is not sitting on a trailer waiting. If you already have one half of the setup, the pump and the injector set are both available on their own.

Questions before you order
Frequently asked questions
Is a tune included?
No. You get the hardware and the injector tuning data for your tuner. The calibration is arranged separately, and COBB is the suite Nostrum recommends here.
Do I need to upgrade the in-tank pump as well?
The low pressure side is not part of this package. On a car moving to E85, check with your tuner whether the standard in-tank pump keeps up with your target.
Can I fit the pump now and the injectors later?
You can buy them separately to stage the spend, but they solve different halves of the same limit. Fitting both at once also means one install and one tuning session.
