Storage & logistics
For garages and repair shops, proper storage of exchange standard turbochargers is essential to maintain their condition and readiness for use. Keep units in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and contaminants. Store turbochargers in their original packaging or equivalent protective covers to prevent damage to the variable geometry mechanism or CHRA. Rotate stock regularly to ensure older units are used first, reducing the risk of obsolescence. Label each unit with its OEM reference and motorization compatibility for quick identification during busy repair schedules.
