Storage & logistics

For garages and distributors, storing exchange-standard turbos requires controlled conditions to maintain their condition until installation. Keep units in a dry, temperature-stable environment away from direct sunlight, and avoid stacking heavy items on top of packaging. Rotate stock regularly to ensure older units are used first, preventing degradation over time. For bulk orders, use shelving with dividers to prevent contact between turbos, which could damage delicate components like the CHRA or variable geometry mechanisms. Always handle turbos with care, using gloves to avoid transferring oils or contaminants to the unit.
