Default How do I store a turbo??

I just bought a K04 and I probably won't be able to put it in until July 4th or later. How should I store it? Should I fill the oil area and plug it? Should I fill the cooling side with antifreeze? Any suggestions?

No, it's used. I've never taken one apart; so, I don't know what the materials are and I don't know how critical it is to keep the bearing space corrosion free.

Give it to me and I will make sure that the parts are moved several times a day so that it doesn't lock-up.
