How long was your car down for repair? Gas could have gone bad, spark plugs might need replaced. The problem doesn't necessarily sound turbo related, although the turbo shaft not spinning at idle is a problem. Did the shaft spin freely before you installed the turbo? Is oil feeding to the center section unrestricted? Is it draining unrestricted? Have you checked for exhaust leaks?
See if the shaft spins freely with the engine off and make sure it's getting oil.

put new plugs in, gap them, and that could be your problem. A car I'm working on does the same thing and put new plugs in and all is well. it would break up past 6k in 3rd and 4th gear
