Storage & logistics

Proper storage of 1.2 TSI 86 hp turbos is essential to maintain their condition before installation. These units should be kept in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent corrosion or damage to internal components. For garages and workshops, storing turbos in sealed containers or original packaging reduces exposure to dust and moisture, which can compromise performance. It’s also critical to rotate stock regularly, ensuring older units are used first to prevent obsolescence. When handling turbos, avoid dropping or jarring them, as internal components like the CHRA or variable geometry mechanisms can be sensitive to impact. For bulk orders, consider climate-controlled storage solutions to preserve the integrity of the turbos until they are needed for installation.
