Change your fuel filter if you haven't done so, i guess the in-line filter is the filterpad in the tank right? The main fuelfilter is placed on the firewall in your engine compartment just below your battery (thats if you have a GST). When you take turns, residues in the filter will all gather one one side and clog it even more than straight driving.

You may have to take the pump out and check that you didn't crimp anything when you put it in.

Not sure if this only applies to carbeurated fuel pumps, but the pick up line might have shifted or something so that it's not sitting in the fuel, so when you make the hard turns or brake hard it can't grab the fuel.
