it only shakes at idol, top gear it runs like a dream so i figured its not a timing problem. i was thinking the heat soak from my header was doin something. i checked the line, but im gonna check them again. am i lookin for boost line to be totally off or what?

at the shop I used to own we had a pre-production tC with the TRD Supercharger. It idled funny b/c there was no fuel management.

But your probably does sound like a vacuum leak. You could also use a AFC to help with the tuning or just step up to a emanage if there is something out there.

I know AEM EMS for the Scion tC is out soon. That would solve every thing...
Complete engine management...
