You were probably letting off the gas a bit on the turns right? If you let up on the gas VTEC will probably disengage.

It's because the system didn't have enough oil pressure to active the VTEC changeover. This may be caused by improper technique and/or the shitty factory oil pump.

how do u know ur vtec was going off? do u have a vtec light hooked up?

One reason that i can think off is that whne u corner hard, all the oil in ur oil pan would move to one side not letting oil pump suck in enough oil, and not pushing enough oil through the vtec selonoid.

If you're really concerned about it, get a baffled oil pan.
