have you checked all air hoses for splits/leaks? have you had the car plugged into a diagnostics(dealer level) to see whats causing it?
are all your injectors running ok? all vacuum pipes/solenoid working ok?
Theres no reason whatsever Vauxhall shouldnt be able to remedy this fault.could also be ecu fault on odd aoccasion.(corrupt),but you wont know till you take it to get scanned & see results of live-data
ps:you dont want a golf trust me. DMF/injector(PD),main shaft bearing etc etc(especially the mk5

You could start by checking your turbo actuator rod is not seized and by using a mittivac guage you could pull a vac on the pipe that controls the actuator ,this would confirm that side is okay,
