40k Rules discrepancy

- Reading: 40k Rules discrepancy
So, few weeks ago while underway my friend and I were playing a game of 40k. 2000 pts eldar vs Skitaari if I recall correctly, with him having an imperial knight allied in. Anyways, I've got a jetbike squad I'm bouncing in and out of LOS with the turbo boost rule, the problem is that the digital copy of the rules he had on his tablet and hard copy I had have differing rules for turbo boosting. I was wondering which was right, anyone know?

What were the differences?

Generally speaking, the version in the core rulebook overrides what's written in older codexes. Check the errata for specific details.

The errata had nothing related to the issue

It was with regards to jetbikes turbo boosting, and whether or not jetbikes can turbo boost after shooting. The digital version said no, but the hard copy had a subsection that said eldar and deldar jetbikes could turboboost 2d6 after shooting

Wut? i am fairly certain that you cannot turbo boost after shooting, unless that I another elder trickery.
As mentioned before consult your hard cover first then check if they have errated that (which I think they haven't)
In addition to following all the rules for Jetbikes, if an Eldar Jetbike elects to
Turbo-boost in the Shooting phase, it can move up to 36". If they do not Turboboost,
Eldar Jetbikes may move up to 2D6" in the Assault phase, even if they
have shot in the preceding Shooting phase or arrived by Deep Strike that turn.
When Eldar Jetbikes move in the Assault phase and do not charge, they treat
difficult terrain in the same way as they do in the Movement phase.

Continuing off myself, it's an Eldar Jetbike thing specifically, normal bikes cannot do this.
So you shoot, then you make a 2d6 move, similar to Tau Jetpacks.
So you're both kind of wrong, if you Turboboost, that's your shooting phase.
Movement Phase: 12"
Shooting Phase: Shoot or move another up to 36"
Assault Phase: if Turbo'd done, if you shot, you may make a 2D6 move.

Hope that clears it up for you. To find this in the rulebook, look under unit types. it's the final section to "Bikes & Jetbikes" Titled "Eldar and Dark Eldar Jetbikes"

It kind of does, my qualm was that the digital edition doesn't have that blurb about eldar, but the hard copy does, so I was trying to figure out which was right
