Its as if it's starving itself of fuel but wen it's on a straight it's fine I have just fitted a fuel sender and before this it was fine

Proper GTE tank has a swirl pot built in , pick up pipe takes fuel from inside swirl pot, if it's not got one it will misfire like mad when cornering

My car has a non gte tank on and you can hear the fuel pump grumbleing for fuel when less than quarter of a tank, I suppose there is a chance you could have missed it when fitting the pickup.
