Storage & logistics

Proper storage of exchange-standard turbos for the 1.6 SIDI 170 hp is essential to maintain their condition and performance until installation. These components should be kept in a clean, dry environment, protected from moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures that could compromise their integrity. For workshops, storing turbos in labeled, airtight containers or original packaging helps prevent contamination and ensures they remain ready for immediate use. Regular inventory checks are recommended to track stock levels and identify any units that may require reconditioning or replacement. When handling turbos, avoid dropping or subjecting them to mechanical stress, as this can damage internal components like the CHRA or wastegate. For bulk orders, palletized storage with clear labeling streamlines retrieval and reduces the risk of misplacement, ensuring that the right turbo is always within reach when needed.
