Default fuel pump issue

ok to start with i am typin this on my phone, so im sorry for any improper grammar or spelling. i recently turboed my 92 gsr. for the fuel pump i purchased one from a company named jp racing fuel pumps. when i was putting it in i noticed the sock was smaller and pointed in a different direction. so i put my factory sock on it and made it match up with the oem pump. now every time i get down tn 1/4 tank and stop hard or even stop easy goin downhill, it runs out of gas and shuts off. any advice?

It's probably a crappy pump and isn't able to re-prime itself after sucking a little bit of air. Still though, I'm surprised it would have a problem if the pickup is at the same tank height as the stock pump.
