When you enable Turbo mode from the BIOS, whenever your temperature are within safe limit and you start a cpu intensive task then the multiplier is increased automatically, hence giving slight boost in performance.

This feature is strictly dependant on your CPU temperatures i guess. You have no control over it basically. Correct me if I am wrong.
