If you have to turn the wheel more then you didn't hit the apex. The only steering input should be unwinding after the apex. Still sounds like you're turning in too early. It's not easy, and even though I know what to do, I still have problems actually executing it.
Like RJ said, Evolution is $200, and worth it. Usually you can take phase II the next day, but you don't have to.

I turn it more and give it more gas but it keeps the same line.

you are taking the turn incorrectly then.

sounds like a really late apex turn.

true.

I have to hold the inside though because the exit is narrow.

You want to enter the corner from the outside and then come in then. Sometimes you have to give up a little before the turn to get a better exit.
