I don't see how the wires coud affect it, but the unusual boost in speed
is probably due to a lost connection when you turn on the turbo(i.e.
there is no capacitor connected and the calculator becomes dangerously
fast). thats my guess, I had that problem when I first turboed my calc,
except neither of the switch settings would slow it down, It just went
about four times faster all the time.
