Default Fuel Surge / Starvation?

Just fitted a new uprated pump to my car, an intank 255lph pump. Which sits in the same place as the old pump inside the pump carrier.

Now if i corner hard the car cuts out and then once ive straightened out again it re-starts (obviously in gear), ive tried it both ways, cornering left and right.

Would it be fuel starving?

prob got a crappy pattern part fuel tank fitted and the new pumps hi flow is just amplifying the prob you will most likley get at just under 1/4 of a tank in hard corners. Thats my experience anyway.
