Storage & logistics

Proper storage of exchange standard turbos is essential to maintain their condition and performance. Units should be kept in a dry, temperature-controlled environment, away from contaminants like dust or moisture. For wholesalers and garages, rotating stock regularly ensures that older units are used first, reducing the risk of obsolescence. Core deposits should be handled with care, with used turbos stored separately to prevent cross-contamination and simplify returns.
