That's a vendor-specific mode. I strongly advice you _against_ using it,
it's using at least one additional channel and only adds speed for very
short distances. If you follow the common recommendation of leaving one
channel before and after the active channel, you end up using at least
5 channels for turbo mode compared to three for normal, it's not worth
the trouble.
