very rough idle with lots of blue smoke
when i accelerate it bogs down then picks up then boggs down again
I've changed the fuel for something abit more better than the old shit that was in before which i thought solved the problem and i changed the fuel filter just yesterday
a test drive not so long ago proved me wrong 
i was thinking maybe glow plugs?
any other suggestions

glow plugs should only operate when starting mate. once the chambers get to temperature then they arent used.
blue smoke, seemsits burning oil poss turbo oils seals as its bogging downt/trying to boost then not boosting again?

true but could still be that, usually them that cause turbs to burn oil.
but the rough idle sounds like its on the fueling side of things as on dervs it measures the amount of diesel to determine how much air is needed. (petrols do air to measure how much fuel is needed but you know that )

could be, would explain the bogging down too. but then it would black smoke as it'd be running lean

Turbos CAN spin up on idle... Mine does sometimes 
Could be the blower up the duff!
