Storage & logistics

For professionals, proper storage of exchange-standard turbos is essential to maintain their condition before installation. Keep units in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and contaminants. Label each turbo with its reference and vehicle compatibility to prevent mix-ups. Regularly rotate stock to ensure older units are used first, reducing the risk of obsolescence. For bulk orders, use sturdy, stackable packaging to protect turbos during transit and storage, and always handle with care to avoid damage to the CHRA or cartridge.
