In my mind, turnkey is an engine with mounts, accessories, wiring harness
and whatever else is needed on a pallet that YOU can install easily...That
is what the original Bostig's were.
 Same can be said with the RMW setup..All shipped with the eng, harness, etc
so it can be easily bolted in place rather than having to source all the
parts and bits yourself. Install not included, but a rebuilt 2.2 is a
definite plus for a 12 or 15 yr old motor and raises the price by a fair
amount I think

so your "turnkey" would have been $13.4K to be really turnkey.

My point exactly. Call it what it is. I'm this application, Jon's $12K Subie
"turnkey" vs. Harry's (approx.) $13.4K Zetec "turnkey". McIntosh Apples vs.
Red Delicious Apples. Not apples vs. oranges or apples vs. apple sauce.
