Default How to store a turbo?

What's the best way to store a turbo? Should I fill and cap the oil supply/return spouts or do anything to keep the seals good?

I've decided to postpone my over ambicious turbo project until Spring time. I don't have as much money as I thought I would, and have other things I want/need to spend it on (kind of forgot about bills a few times). But it will go in eventually.

oil not needed as long as you dont spin it, just put it in a drawer maybe stick clean rags in turbine/comp housing to keep bugs and dirt out

what are the seals made of exactly? I think oil on them would be a very good idea. maybe not a turbo full of oil...
