engine dies in turns

my 87 tbi is doing the exact same thing... sucks. i cant figure it out at all!

The reason mine was doing it (the hot wire where it bolts to the starter):

When I'd go around a corner, the exposed wire would hit the starter and cause it to ground, meaning momentary power loss on left-hand turns.
 
Check you engine mounts and tranny mounts. You engine or drive train may be shifting enough on a turn that you are getting an electrical short or disconnect.

Check to make sure that all the wiring to the engine has enough slack and all the connections are tight.
