I was his very first customer on BB. I had just went through 2 sets of smoking hybrids and foolishly gave him a chance since I needed a turbo solution. Same old story, he lied, he gave fake tracking, he ghosted me for weeks at a time. I finally received a tiny box with just a turbo in it, no kit. At this point he claimed it was sent together but he lost the tracking number for the kit that never got delivered. I disputed my credit card purchase and sent the turbo back to him.
I did my best to warn others and i investigated who he actually was, it seems nobody gives a shit because he offers cheap kits that a select few well known and influential members received and gave positive reviews. I posted everything you need to know about the guy back in December 2015. Since he still somehow has customers but has not changed his ways I will repost my 2+ year old findings as a reminder for people considering business with him.

So many patterns in typing, delaying and bull$#@! excuses, and the list goes on. His scams go back as far as 2004 on some of the following websites..
Nasioc, srtforums, hardforums, techpowerup, and a few more. He's scammed many people on car parts and pc components. Let's do a little picture story since that usually makes things easier to understand.
First let's tie Jerry to an address, that's easy since I had to ship him a turbo back... as seen below it's 4401 keith way bakersfield ca
Now let's figure out who lives at 4401 keith way using census information, land deeds and reverse phone look ups..
It appears as if this address belongs to the casteel crew.. this has been talked about and Jerry has some secret reason for living there but if you're buying stories from someone with this much history of lying... well.. you're foolish. Jerry Trance is a non-existent human being.
Let's talk about shaudfab, he had a nearly identical manifold he was working on (looked like beginner welds) it's had small tweaks since the early days but maintains the same general design and now uses copied rb flanges (Rob verified shaud had RB flanges).. so who was shaudfab? Well let's see who registered the shaudfab.Com domain... spoiler: it's keikei casteel... this guy ran the same bull$#@! he's been doing for years .. excuses and delays.. the longer he can delay the harder it is for disputes to work, I was personally 30 days away from my credit card company not being able to help me.
Now let's analyze a few facts... Jerry is a shady liar even under this alias he lied to me over and over, constantly delaying and lying. He has been proven to have the same address as shaudfab who did the exact same thing and just happened to be fabricating an almost identical manifold. Is this a coincidence? No. The guys has made up many many alias in the past and this is just another one, it's so blatantly obvious.
I'll just leave a little bit of his history here to finish off my post...
