Default classic cuts out when giving it some around right hand turns, think its a fuel prob!

hiya i have a 1994 wrx wagon, its fairly modified with a hks mushroom filter, both decats and a stainless exhaust and a td05 turbo and a scoobysport chip. when i put my foot down the car runs fine and when i go around left corners but if im booting it around a island when i go to put my foot down the car just jerks violently till i let go off the accelerator but its fine when i press it again.
its doing my head in so any ideas would be appreciated

Either get a baffled fuel tank or swirl pot etc. Or keep a least half a tank of fuel in her at all times.

I get a stutter every once in a while but mine is turning right then hard left. Bit odd but i'm going to get a catch can fitted with a new fuel pump in a while when i get it over to scoobyworld for a performance pack. Is anything logged in the ECU? Might be worth getting it plugged in at a specialist.

Its called fuel surge, ALL classics do this, normally with around 1/4 of a tank of fuel.
