Storage & logistics

For workshops and bulk buyers, proper storage of exchange standard turbos is essential to maintain their condition and performance until installation.

Avoid stacking turbos in a way that could cause physical stress or deformation to the housing or components. Regular inventory checks are recommended to ensure that older stock is rotated and used first, preventing any potential degradation over time. For logistics teams, clear labeling and organized storage systems help streamline picking and reduce the risk of errors during order fulfillment.
