Storage & logistics
For professional buyers, storing remanufactured turbos requires controlled conditions to prevent moisture damage or bearing corrosion. Keep units in their original packaging until installation, and store them in a dry, temperature-stable environment. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of turbo cores to prevent deformation. For workshops, organize turbos by vehicle model and motorization to streamline retrieval during repairs. Always inspect the unit for transit damage before proceeding with installation.
