Regularly rotate stock to ensure older units are used first, maintaining freshness and reliability. Use protective packaging to shield turbos from dust and physical damage during handling. For garages, consider dedicated storage solutions that separate remanufactured cores from new units to avoid confusion. Always label inventory clearly with OEM references and compatibility details to facilitate quick identification during repairs.
