That's how it was supposed to work.
But apparently you could wire it either way, so some people made turbo actually mean "turbo" instead of "slow".
Which I think was going on with mine since it got louder, but it's been literally decades
You can wire it that way, I do, but it doesnt mean you are making the cpu go faster than what the label says. You are still switching between normal speed and half speed, it just feels better.
