Default Car bogs powering through corners

I have no idea what could be causing this...

but when going around tight enough corners at speed, and trying to accelerate through them(relax im not racing) the car bogs. its like some force pushes against the car preventing it from accelerating... and you can hear the engine struggle.

its weird. any idea what could cause this? its almost like the diff is binding/getting really tight or something. I dunno.

thoughts?

Used to have that problem. Swapping to a Walbro 255lph pump fixed it. Swapping to a slightly higher flowing fuel pump should put more fuel in the rail, and should keep enough pressure to not hit flat spots while cornering.

I already have a 255lph pump. lol its been in there for a while now. i put it in when i was boosted and when i went back to n/a never took it out. car ran fine so I didnt bother.
this happens even with a full tank.

ive hit the throttle hard when i was really low on gas and got hesitations/jerking before so i know what that is like.

this is a different feeling. its like you are hitting an artificial rev limiter. the car just bogs . obviously the car doesnt stop but i cant keep accelerating.

so possibly the pump on its way out?

anything else?

im bumping this because it still happens..(no I didnt bother replacing anything) ... it happened again today(well its happend many other times since i posted this) but today was wierd... the car hesitated and bogged (sounds almost like you are sitting on a 2 step limiter) and then it cut back in and i looked in my rear view right away and saw a puff of white smoke...(coolant) what? my coolant level is fine, and my car doesnt over heat.

any thoughts?

(when i put my new exh on my o2 did had some white haze on it(indicating im burning some coolant) ... but my levels are fine. so wierd.

now im thinking HG issues, but the car runs fine(other than the power cut while turning).
can it leak coolant through the head into the combustion chamber?

i realize this is probably more than one problem...
