How to store a turbo?

Hi Guys,

I've come across a turbo that I would like, and fit later

But I'm wondering, how long can you store a turbo for?

Is there any specific way to store/wrap a turbo?

Cheers all

Plug all holes and use decent plastic bag.....nothing special about storing turbo.
I never heard of any time limit on turbos:P

Cheers Beliblisk :-)

So I could store the turbo for a year or two without any issues, like seizing?

Just poor some oil down the oil feed hole and give it a spin , and give it a spray with wd40 or keep it in door out of the damp and it should be fine

I'm sure someone will let you store in under their bonnet if you ask nicely.
