Storage & logistics
For garages and workshops, storing exchange standard turbos requires controlled conditions to maintain their calibrated state. Units should be kept in a dry, temperature-stable environment away from direct sunlight, with packaging intact to prevent contamination. Regular inventory rotation ensures fresher stock is used first, reducing the risk of performance degradation over time. For motorists and DIY enthusiasts, storing a spare turbo in its original packaging protects it from dust and moisture until installation, while the core deposit system simplifies the return of the old unit.
