Default misfire after hard right cornering

hi there my car misfires after hard right cornering this has only started to happen since ive had all my mods done im running a turbo 2000 with td05 turbo@1.5bar fmic forged pistons full stainless with de-cat walbro 255 fuel pump ecutek remap to 330bhp. this problen only happens when im down past half a tank of fuel so im guessing its dragging air up the fuel line when on hard rights as the pump is on the left of the tank? what can i do to stop this as it really p*sses me off having to keep it full of fuel just so i can play also is it true that this missing can be catastrofic on engines? cheers to you all danny

Its a known issue on classics, fuel surge/starvation, though personally I have not had it as I normally fill the car up before I get to half a tank so the only advice is to keep your fuel topped up!

Yep swirl pot is the main cure - sorting this out myself at the end of the month
Didnt get this when I had your sort of power though, only saw this once I was above 450bhp on the Walbro
