Interesting.

About a week ago i bought my third seven. It's my first s5 n/a something odd is happening. When a make a hard left turn and i'm holding steady throttle it cuts out. It's almost like suddenly either no spark or no fuel. This happens on a full tank of gas. All electrical looks good.

Check to make sure the fuel baffles are in place. Even a "full" tank of fuel leaves a good section of the top of the tank unfilled which can create slosh.

If that's not it, then you are probably looking at an electrical issue and you need to test each system one by one to determine the cause. For example, place a light in parallel with the fuel pump visible on the dash so you can see if the pump cuts out.

also clean the little filter "sock" on the pump, for some reason its more prone to cutting out in left turns when this is dirty
