What is the difference ?

The turbo is a blower style cooler(good for ITX or small cases, not too great for towers) and reference design PCB.

 

So it'll be somewhat louder, run a bit hotter, have worse VRM cooling and also worse power delivery than the strix version.

What is the Difference between the Asus 1080 strix and the Asus 1080 turbo it's around 500$ while the strix is 600 to 700 what makes the turbo cheaper? 

Turbo is basically bone stock. Like the FE without the fancy spoilers and glowing bits. The STRIX is factory overclocked and better built for power.

 

If we're doing car analogies, the Turbo is like the bone stock bottom tier Civic while the STRIX is the Civic Type R that you can go zoom zoom with.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

Turbo runs like a founders edition. Pretty sure it's reference PCB, and a cheap blower style cooler that runs hotter, would OC lower because of throttling, and be lower. 

 

The Strix runs cooler quieter has better power delivery and would probably OC better.
