Did you check the throttle postioning sensor? Do you have water in your gas?

I had a van that did that.  One bottle of fuel injection cleaner and it was mint.  A truck I had took something like 5 or 6 bottles to clear everything up, but all in all it was cheap.  (One bottle to a tank of gas by the way, not all at once...)

Beer, it's what's for dinner.

This is a fuel system problem, not a catalysit problem. THe fact the it happens rounding corners tends to suggest the water or dirt is being sloshed into fuel system after turning a corner. If possible, completely drain and flush fuel tank and change any filters too.
