There is a uart with fifo which Altera sent me when I was having troubles with the standard uart speed. The file is ACF2002.zip which I am sure you can ask for from the service request people.

You need unzip it and add this whole directory to this location: <NiosII Installation Path>/components/. Then you can reopen the SOPC Builder to add this UART with fifo.

It comes up as "cal uart".

Good luck
