Storage & logistics
For garages and distributors, storing exchange-standard turbos requires controlled conditions to preserve their condition until installation. Keep units in their original packaging, away from moisture and extreme temperatures, and organize inventory by OEM reference for quick retrieval. Rotate stock regularly to ensure older units are used first, maintaining freshness and reliability. For DIY enthusiasts, a dry, temperature-stable environment is sufficient, but always inspect the turbo for damage before installation to avoid complications.
