Storage & logistics
Proper storage of exchange standard turbos is essential to maintain their condition before installation. Keep turbos in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can degrade seals and lubricants. For workshops, store turbos in sealed packaging until use to prevent contamination from dust or moisture. If storing for extended periods, rotate stock regularly to ensure older units are used first, reducing the risk of obsolescence. Always handle turbos with care, avoiding drops or impacts that could damage internal components or alignment.
