I got some turbo snails and they are about 3-4 inches each, and about 10x the weight of normal snails. Do all turbo snails usually grow this large or did I get a different kind? They where still the regular $2.50 price.

Golf ball size for the small one, largest is probably double it's mass and a bit bigger than a golf ball, but not baseball size.
 
Mexican turbos get quite big.
 
Three of them in this pic. Measured the one closest to glass little over 4 inches Diameter. for comparison there is a mature nassarius snail bottom left of picture. I could probably fit 4 full grown margarita snails with shells inside these.

KK I will just say I must have gotten adults this time. I just put a margaritta next to it and it blows my mind the difference lol. They also don't like string. getting the diameter I nearly lost it in the water.
 
My LFS has one that is about the size of a baseball
