Hey, when its "shaking" is your check engine light on or flashing? Is it off otherwise? If your check engine light comes on while this is happening, it could be your ecu capacitors.
 
If you car shakes ont he highway it might be an alignment thing.


An easy way to check the turbo is turn the car off and take off the intake where it connects to the turbo inlet. Then wiggle the compressor shaft up and own, side to side and in/out. If there's a lot of play it's bad.
