Hero's Duty. King Candy - You game jumped? King Candy - You're not going Turbo, are you? Ralph - What? No no no no.. Well they do, several times, however "Turbo" has additional connotations which make it more appropriate in certain contexts.
We learn the origin of the term around halfway into the film when Felix explains it to Sergeant Calhoun:. Turbo was a character in a racing game who became jealous of another game's success, attributing it to the reduction in popularity of his own game.
As a result, he game jumped into the other game to try and rekindle his fame. Unfortunately players ended up reporting both his game and the one he jumped into as being broken which resulted in both games being unplugged. Using a person's name in place of an existing term for a given action is a fairly common trope and happens in real life as well when someone pulls off a particularity notable example of the given action, good or bad.
If you haven't heard of it before, here is an example of "Pulling a Monica" from the TV program Friends:. Particularly important to note is that when using a term as a substitute in this way, the actual act that takes place doesn't need to match the act that originated the term. So "Going Turbo" does not specifically mean "jumping into another game resulting in both games being shut down" but rather "acting in such a reckless way as to show extremely little regard for yourself and others" or however else you would describe Turbo's actions.
By using the term "Turbo" rather than just saying "crazy" the film makers have a way to introduce the character Turbo to the viewer very early in the film, way before they need to provide any background or context for him.
They can also use this term as a subtle reminder to the viewer of the character, and they do, mentioning it at the start, a quarter in and halfway in before the reveal in the third quarter. Keeping the term in the viewers mind helps make the big enemy reveal even bigger and helps the viewer understand just how heinous the characters view Turbo's actions. To go Turbo means to ruin the facade of the game for the gamers and risk the game being shut down as its "out of order".
Prior to the end of the movie, people going between games only happened after the arcade was closed, so obviously no gamers notice anything.
Towards the end, Qbert's team joins in the Fix It Felix game, but it is done in a way that makes it seem like its just an additional feature of the game. I believe that's the major difference. Remember, Turbo jumped to another game and would wreck the gamer's car in order to win the race for himself. And of course, later you see he messes with the Sugar Rush Speedway game's programming itself, though this isn't known to anyone and can't really be part of what "going turbo" means.

In the second movie, Vanellope performing the same action is celebrated and portrayed as a healthy continuation of her character growth. No thought is given to the rest of the characters of Sugar Rush -- something that should be of concern to their president princess.
Ralph's concerns are treated as immature and he's portrayed as a toxic and clingy man-child, instead of a concerned friend who not only has more experience but has also spent years coming to terms with his own role in his game. Ralph game-jumps because he's desperate for recognition, but he realizes the consequences of his actions and their impact on others.
Vanellope doesn't. Her arc in the second movie is a classic "follow your dreams" plot -- popular with Disney, but not fitting in the movie's universe. To achieve it, the movie universe's rules have to be broken, which ultimately means it doesn't work. Wreck-It Ralph is remembered with fondness, but the sequel seems doomed to fade into obscurity due to its divisive plot.
