Is there a way to set a different print speed depending on the extruder being used on a PRUSA XL

I am printing a model that has PETG and TPU sections on a duel head PRUSA XL.  I want to print the PETG at the PETG speed but need to print TPU at a slower speed.  Can I set different speeds based on the extruder in use or do I need to slow down the entire print due to the TPU being used?

In the filament settings under the 'Advanced' Option, there should be a 'Maximum volumetric flow', setting  (it's an advanced setting, so you need to be in either Advanced mode or Expert mode, in order to see it. ) the lower this number is,, the slower printing should be, 
In the profile I was looking at,
PLA was set at Maximum volumetric flow = 15mm3 per second

TPU was set at Maximum volumetric flow = 2.5mm3 per second (Much Slower)

this should help you.

Thanks for that tip, I was not really sure what the volumetric flow did, but I looked at that setting which was set to the 2.5mm per second and did a few tests dropping the value down by 0.1mm for each test which improved the print outcome.

Thanks again
