Turbo Storage

Looking for advice on storing my evo 9 turbo I purchased a few months ago. Not sure if I want to upgrade it or just bolt it on so its laying in a box. Should I be spraying it with WD-40 every now and then? ( I searched)

Thanks,
Andrew

I would just cover the holes to make sure dirt and dust doesn't get inside of it.

Then put it on a shelf and you should be good to go.

Pour some clean motor oil in the bearing section first and spin it a little bit to work the oil around the bearings. Then I'd consider sealing it up with some tape over the ports.
