08 Acura RDX Turbo Replacement Recommendations

I have a 2008 Acura RDX 2.3L Turbo. I’ve had it for about three years now and since I had it, the turbo was a known issue. It fully blown about two weeks ago. I’m at the point where I need to replace the turbo but from my knowledge, the OEM turbo was not built the best from factory for this engine. I would not be replacing it with OEM and that is where my issue comes into hand. OEM (Used) is about $800 CAD not guaranteed to last.

So I would like to replace it with an aftermarket. I found this Turbo on Amazon & asking around getting knowledge from people with Turbos, I was shown Amazon Turbo aren’t that bad & peoples been running them for a while, on civics and other vehicles. I don’t know too much about it personal so I’d like to get any information from anyone out there with knowledge. I am trying to avoid spending 1k+ on the replacement.

If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know or if you know about this Amazon Turbo & feel it is a good option please feel free to express. Thanks
