Problem mainting pressure while turning
I have a 96 civic ex
Car sat and ate dust for 1 year. I'm now driving it, Everytime i cut the streeling wheel all the way no matter which side, the master cyl. looses pressure, i pump the brake pedel a couple of times and the pressure is there again, and i don't loose pressure untill i make a U turn, or just turn the wheel to the sides.

Probably something is wrong with your brake lines. Maybe there's like a small tiny hole in them and when you steer one way, it stretches the line and the hole, making you lose pressure when you step on the brakes.
I'm not sure what the problem really is, just taking a guess.

Check the vacuum lines that plug onto the brake booster and make sure they are tight and that there are no leaks. Check the fluid level and refill to required level.

No leaks, and the fluid level is not going down.

Turn the wheel all the way one way and press the brakes to where you loose the pressure.
Get out and check for leaks.
Do it again but turning the other side.
Because the car sat for a year i think when you turned the wheel you stretched the lines when they werent use to being stretched. So i think you have some cracks, maybe even air in the lines.
