I would think a tank baffle is broken or possibly a pump issue. Did anyone change a pump in it before you got it, if so maybe they broke one of the baffles inside the tank, otherwise take a look and see if you have any wires pinching under the dash when your turning the wheel, maybe something got wired in?

Hopefully it helps, thats just where I would start from

I'd vote for the gas pump/baffle setup. I changed my pump out (cheap replacement) when I swapped my engine and ever since, if I take a sharp right turn at high speed it bogs out like it has no gas in it.
I have a 135 degree turn before my house, and if I take that at anything more than 60 I can bog it out with a FULL tank.
Wings on an MX3? What are you thinking?

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

haha why, because of the left turn only, or the badass fuel cells they use in the cars :)
