Storage & logistics
Professional workshops should store exchange standard turbos in a climate-controlled environment to prevent moisture damage or corrosion. Units should be kept in their original packaging until installation to maintain calibration and prevent contamination. Regular inventory rotation ensures older stock is used first, reducing the risk of performance degradation over time. For DIY users, storing the turbo in a clean, dry space away from direct sunlight preserves its condition until the installation date.
