Default Fueling Issue i think

I replaced my standard fuel pump with a walbro fuel pump a few months ago, if i am driving normally or foot down its perfect, if i take a roundabout at more than 20mph's or a sharp bend the car cuts out, this always happens on a right hand turn... starting to get a little annoying now... any ideas?

car is a subaru imprea wrx import 93 reg.

doesnt matter if the tank is full to the top, half full or quater of a tank if i take the turn to quick the car just stalls and i roll to a stop and takes about 5/10 minutes to get the car to start again.

not sure if it matters but did you use the walbro sock or the original one? i was told to use the original sock and have never had this problem even with a practicaly empty tank.
just a thought
