Storage & logistics
Proper storage of exchange standard turbos is essential to maintain their performance and prevent contamination before installation. Keep units in their original packaging until ready for use, and store them in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. For workshops handling bulk orders, palletized turbos should be stored on raised platforms to avoid moisture buildup and ensure easy access. Always inspect the turbo for signs of damage or corrosion before installation, as even minor defects can affect performance. Labeling each unit with the engine model and installation date helps track inventory and rotation, ensuring older stock is used first. Suppliers should also provide guidance on handling procedures to prevent accidental damage to the turbo’s variable geometry components or cartridges.
