Hi. Every time I make a turn, my engine dies off. This happens all the time. Need help. Thanks.

My first suspect would be that you are losing fuel pump pressure due to a dirty tank. There is a sock at the bottom of the fuel pump. I have seen them get plugged and not pick up fuel when in a turn because the fuel level drops.
