Default brakes loosing pressure when making a tight turn... master cylinder problem? or brake booster

this just started to happend right after i had changed my brake pads..
everything went smooth as it should. i bleed the brake lines and etc.
now when i make a sharp turn or a U-turn, i tend to loose pressure when hitting the brakes afterwards. when im driving and braking, its fine. pressure seems to be good. I even flushed the fluid again, and this still occured. could there possibly be a leak somewhere in my brake booster? or is this a symtom of my master cylinder going bad. this only happens when i dont brake while i make a sharp turn or a u-turn at the same time (braking after turning a bit, then loosing pressure)

You didn't accidentally run a break line incorrectly around a suspension component or something when you were putting everything back did you? Just a quick thing to check, maybe something is getting kinked when turning. Just a thought.

Cheers and good luck.
