Default Fuel Pressure drops in turns(BIG PROBLEM I AUTOX)

Well Just built a STS car D16a6 Motor has 20 miles on it. Simple bolt on's. Car starts and runs great will run all day long. Car is quick going down the road as long as I am not turning.

It starts to spit and wants to die in hard turns mostly turning to the left, does it turning to the right but not as bad as turning to left.

So here is what I have done.......
Drove car till it wanted to die, when it started to die I killed it pulled the plugs, idea was to see if they were wet I have a spark problem or dry I have a fuel problem. Well they were dry, no fuel and the fuel pressure gage that is under the hood droped to 15psi in the corner.


Fuel Filter is new
Fuel pump relay is new.
1/2 tank of fuel

Thanks for the help guys!!
Kerry

have you replaced the fuel pump recently? Sometimes, if the filter part of the pump falls off, the pump has a harder time getting gas. It sounds to me like the gas is getting sloshed to the side of the tank while turning, and your fuel pump pick up isnt doing what it should. Drop the tank and pull the pump to see if the screen is attached. If it is, you can also try lowering the pump in the tank, just set it lower on the bracket and it will set farther down in the tank.
