I have a boost leak checker thing I maid, very easy to use, and helps you find leaks if thats your problem.

to use it just plug one end up where the turbo would be, and use a bike pump to add pressure if you hear air leaking, you've found your leak,

but jurking and a rough idel does not sould like a leak, a leak would not be very violante, rather just a big loss in hp, or so i belive. check your vacume lines.
