Storage & logistics
Proper storage of exchange standard turbos is essential to maintain their performance and longevity before installation. These units should be kept in a clean, dry environment free from extreme temperatures or humidity, which can degrade seals and bearings. For wholesalers and workshops, organizing turbos by motorization and compatibility ensures quick access and reduces the risk of misplacement. Regular inventory checks help identify units that may require reconditioning or replacement due to prolonged storage. Additionally, handling turbos with care—avoiding drops or impacts—preserves their internal components and ensures they remain ready for immediate use when needed.
