Storage & logistics
For workshops and bulk buyers, storing exchange standard turbos requires controlled conditions to maintain their condition. Keep units in their original packaging until installation, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Rotate stock based on expiry dates if applicable, and label each turbo with its OEM reference for quick retrieval. Consignment turbos should be stored separately to track core returns efficiently, ensuring compliance with deposit policies and reducing administrative overhead.
