It sounds like what you are missing is http://wiki.ros.org/robot_pose_ekf package (or perhaps hector_localization or something else similar) that will take imu data and odometry and then generate a map to base_link transform with it.

It is important to have your imu frame in your urdf, the Imu message frame has to match up with the name of the imu frame in the urdf, it will see the imu to base link transform and do the right thing with it.

(I haven't it used it before so corrections to the above are welcome)
