The Turbo is sputtering

So I took the turbo to the track this wknd and on my last 2 sessions out the car would sputter through hard corners as if it was starving from fuel. Runs fine in the straights but not through turns. Initially thought it was not enough fuel in the tank as I was only down to about a half a tank. Filled it up full and same problem next session out. No issues the first 2-25 min sessions out and drove home fine. Could the pump be failing? If it was I would think it would do it all the time not just through cornering. Fuel filter was done approx 3 yrs ago but only about 15k on it since. Afrs were good as I checked full throttle on the way home so I think inj are ok. Anyone experience this in there 996? Mine is an 01' with 47k on it. Thanks for the help in advance! Hope it's a simple fix.

Thanks,
Ron

I've nearly run my tank dry on a technical track, so that probably isn't the problem. Does it sputter on both hard left and right turns? Nothing during hard acceleration or braking? This is an interesting problem.

Could be faulty ABS sensors or something, do you get any flashing lights in the cluster?

Hmm that is weird. Sounds like wire is loose. Maybe injector. Or fuel pump
