turbos not being used

my stage 3 turbo has been sitting for nearly 5 months is it bad for the turbo to be constantly sitting on not used like the oil seals going?

Thats not long enough to make me nervous personally, Im sure it will be fine, LOTS of people park their car up for 5 months or more and get no problems.

my turbo was sat idle for 11 years, put it back on and its fine. 5 months wont do any harm unless its outside in the elements.

cover the holes with tape to be on the safe side
