Va is the maximum speed at which full control (rudder, aileron/spoiler or elevator/tailplane) may be applied without exceeding the structural limits of the aircraft. The previous post describes the fundamentals of turbulence penetration speed well. As has been said above, there is no direct relationship between the two.
