Storage & logistics

Proper storage of exchange standard turbos for the 1.8 TSI 180 hp engine is essential to maintain their condition before installation. These units should be kept in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent moisture damage or corrosion to internal components. For bulk orders, use sturdy shelving or pallets to avoid physical stress on the turbos, and ensure they are stored upright to prevent oil or coolant leaks. Regular inventory rotation is critical to prevent units from sitting unused for extended periods, which can degrade seals and bearings. Always handle turbos with care, avoiding drops or impacts that could compromise their structural integrity or internal alignment.
