Storage & logistics
For garages and wholesalers, proper storage of exchange-standard turbos is critical to maintaining their condition until installation. Store units in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and contaminants. Avoid stacking turbos to prevent deformation of the housing or damage to the CHRA. Regularly inspect stock for signs of moisture or corrosion, and rotate inventory to ensure older units are used first. For international buyers, ensure packaging is intact and labeled for climate-controlled transport to prevent condensation-related issues.
