Storage & logistics

Storing exchange standard turbos for 1.9 TDI 130 hp requires controlled conditions to preserve their condition until installation. Keep parts in a dry, temperature-stable environment away from direct sunlight, and avoid stacking heavy items on top to prevent deformation.

Always inspect the packaging for damage before storage, as compromised seals can lead to contamination or premature wear. If storing for extended periods, consider vacuum-sealing the turbo to protect it from moisture and dust, particularly in regions with high humidity.
