You would need to define turbo cook a little better -- e.g. ribs in an hour?  brisket in 3 hours?  I would need to know your timelines a bit.

 OK Kristin.. Turbo cooking is done 350ºish. It started  a few years ago by Myron Miixon. For what reason I don't recall..What he discovered was that the end product, low and slow vs turbo cooked, was the same.. This caught on especially with the stick burners

that had to babysit their pits for many long hours, and has a large following of kamado crowd.

That should shed some light on the subject.

I've been gradually raising temps on some things I cook and can say, if anything, the food has gotten better.
Ribs and butts are now cooked at 300 rather than 225. Cooking times have been slashed.

I rarely go as high as 350. I do regularly cook around 300. I like the end product as well or better , and most of the time the shortened cook time. I do slow it down based on when I need to have things finished it needed.

My ribs are done in the 300range. 
I would not quite go 350, I have found 300 works very well on babybacks for us.  They are overdone (fall apart) for people that like competition style but my family and friends like them that way.

1st time I have heard it referred to as Turbo, I have seen it referred to as Hot and Fast...and I have tried it.  I have gotten more in the 275-300° range for most of my BBQ now days...Less time, better fat rendering and moisture retention, but above average smoke taste...

I usually start Low N Slow & gradually raise the temp if I'm running out of time. 275 for Ribs.

Low and slo on my pellet cooker.  Higher temp cooks I have still been using my gasser, but I am going to try a high temp cook on the RT.  Maybe some boneless chix thighs.

Will be curious if you think there is a flavor difference...I know I could tell one when I had that Woodwind Sear Box and searing on the Memphis or GMG...

Please explain what you thought was different.  I am not disagreeing with you.  I am curious.
