Storage & logistics
For workshops and bulk buyers, storing remanufactured turbos requires a controlled environment to prevent contamination or damage. Keep turbos in their original packaging until installation, and store them in a dry, temperature-stable space away from direct sunlight. Regularly rotate stock to ensure the oldest units are used first, maintaining freshness and reliability. For private buyers, ensure the turbo is stored in a clean, dry area before installation, and inspect it for any signs of transit damage to avoid complications during the repair.
