sounds normal as long as it isnt violent or affecting rpm. Every motor i have seen has little tremors at idle.

Try some poly motor mounts. You dont need a tune with those mods, dont even waste your $$ on a tune. A tune will not solve shaking, thats funny that someone even mentioned that.

Spray a little carb cleaner in your EGR and idle air control valve. Might be sticking cause of some carbon build up. I just had that issue because of a small peice of carbon stuck under the pintle valve in the EGR which was holding it open and causing a rough idle. It did throw a code though.
