Storage & logistics

Storing exchange standard turbos for the 1.8 TDCi 110/125 hp range requires a controlled environment to prevent moisture damage or contamination of internal components. Professionals should keep units in their original packaging until installation, ensuring the CHRA and cartridge remain protected from dust and debris. For workshops, organizing stock by vehicle model and engine code streamlines the picking process, reducing the risk of errors during busy repair schedules. Avoid stacking turbos directly on top of each other, as this can lead to pressure points on the housing or impeller. If storing for extended periods, use desiccant packs in sealed containers to maintain a dry atmosphere. Always handle turbos with care, avoiding drops or impacts that could misalign internal components or damage the wastegate mechanism.
