2008+ STi Fuel Pressure Regulator Kit by Radium
This kit is designed for use in the USDM 2008-2017 Subaru WRX STi (EJ257 only) and replaces the OEM fuel pressure regulator and damper assembly. The factory STi fuel line routing uses a quasi dead-end system that circulates fuel through the regulator, bypassing the engine. Fuel is only routed to the engine when there is demand.
The Radium FPR kit re-routes fuel to cycle through the fuel rails before reaching the regulator and returning to the tank. This is the preferred fuel line routing by Subaru tuners trying to address stumbling issues. The kit installs in the same location as the OEM fuel pressure regulator. Also included are vacuum hose and fittings to re-route the vacuum reference line from the #4 cylinder runner to the intake manifold plenum for a more stable vacuum signal. The optional pressure guage kit 20-0386 can be installed into the unused 8AN ORB port on the regulator.
The regulator features the first tool-less pressure adjustment. A jam nut and set screw are no longer required. With a simple turn of the knob, pressure will be increased or decreased. To aid in adjusting pressure, there are incremental detents that provide haptic feedback to the user. Every detent permits 1psi (+/-0.5psi) of adjustment depending on current fuel pressure. A newly designed single stainless steel return orifice generates laminar flow that enhances stability control.
There are 4 interchangeable 10-32 threaded vacuum port fittings provided to cover all scenarios.
- Barbed Fitting: A black zinc-plated 3/16" (5mm) barb machined from high strength steel that is compatible with the following vacuum hoses: 5/32" (4mm), 3/16" (5mm), and 7/32" (6mm).
- 3AN Male Fitting: A black zinc-plated adapter machined from high strength steel that is compatible with 3AN hose ends.
- Push-To-Connect: A nickel-plated brass fitting with Buna-N O-rings that is compatible with hard plastic 1/4" OD tubing.
- Vacuum Plug: A black oxide stainless steel screw that is used to maintain a constant (non dynamic) fuel pressure.
Please Note: This FPR kit is suitable with all gasoline types including unleaded, leaded, oxygenated, and pre-mixes. Furthermore, it is compatible with alcohol blends of fuel including methanol, ethanol, and E85.

Customer Reviews
Bought this in conjunction with the dual fuel hanger and line kit. I was running the Cobb fuel pressure regulator that worked fine but this completed the set up. More tuning options and a spot for a gauge under the hood.
MAPerfomance never disappoints. Good ship time and the customer service is really helpful.
Only reason I gave it a 4 star is because the kit should come with a gauge. Price definitely isn’t bad. But let it come with a gauge and it gets a 5.
This kit is such a great product. The fitment and finish on everything is amazing.
Loving it, great for upgrading fuel system
It was perfect. It looked nice installed perfectly and everything was there. Came a lot faster than expected. The instructions were spot on as well.
