Storage & logistics

Proper storage of exchange standard turbos is essential to maintain their condition before installation.

For bulk orders, use shelving with dividers to prevent contact between turbos, reducing the risk of scratches or deformation. Label each unit with its reference and application to streamline inventory management. Regularly inspect stored turbos for signs of corrosion or moisture buildup, and rotate stock to ensure older units are used first. This approach minimizes waste and ensures every turbo meets performance standards when installed.
