Storage & logistics
Proper storage of exchange standard turbos is essential to maintain their condition before installation. Keep units in their original packaging in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the boxes to prevent deformation. For garages, rotate stock regularly to ensure the oldest units are used first, reducing the risk of degradation over time. Always inspect turbos for damage or contamination before installation, even if they appear intact.
