Default Maf, Fuel Cut, or Coil Packs??

Hey folks, heres a strange one!

I have on numerous occasions come around a bend or roundabout in 2nd gear and tried to floor it and i get what feels ike fuel cut, even though im not on full boost? Now the petrol would be low on the car, could this cause it?
Or am i looking at a maf or coil pack issue.
The car idles fine and under normal driving conditions pulls fine up hils etc under load!!

Any guru on here shed some light??

Low fuel level - and consequent starvation - is the likeliest cause given what you've said, although it would be much easier to answer your question if you told us what year and type of car you have.

Classics are well known to suffer from this - although Subaru have repeatedly tried to correct it, so if you have a recent GD or hatch it might be worth looking elsewhere first.

As for shedding light, all we can do is guess from this vantage point. If you want to know for sure, need to monitor/datalog. Or fill the tank and see if that sorts the problem out.
