Storage & logistics
For garages and wholesalers, storing 2.0 TDI 150 hp turbos requires a controlled environment to prevent contamination or damage. Units should be kept in their original packaging until installation, with temperature and humidity levels monitored to preserve the integrity of seals and bearings. Bulk storage solutions, such as shelving or pallet racks, should be used to organize turbos by model and compatibility, reducing retrieval time during busy periods. Regular inventory checks ensure that stock levels align with workshop demand, preventing delays in customer repairs.
