On my wife's Hyndai, the turbo kicks in at about 1700 rpm. If you're going above and below that rpm, it jerks a bit. My badlands isn't as noticable.
My mechanic brother-in-law told me to never park up against a parking barrier with hot brakes. It will warp the rotors. If the rotors are warped, the brakes will surge as you come to a stop. It feels like you're pumping the brakes. Turning the rotors, or replacing them, will fix that.

Actual warping of the rotors is quite rare; it's usually caused by some kind of impact, not heat. These components are made of materials specifically designed NOT to warp under extreme heat. What's more likely is the rotors have friction material distributed unevenly around the rotor's circumference. Friction increases and decreases with changes in the distribution of friction material. The rapid change in friction as the rotor turns results in a pulsation that many mechanics refer to as rotor warping. Turning the rotors is meant to remove all friction material, not return the rotor to true.
If a rotor is somehow truly warped I doubt very much any amount of turning will fix it.
BTW, if the glazing is not too bad you can sometimes remove it with a few heavy brake applications, similar to the recommended brake bedding (break-in) process.
