By actuator do you mean the waste-gate actuator? If so then what was the mode of failure (belows rupture, linkage failure)....... I promise you that someone has already solved this problem with a cheap part that you can buy instead of trying to determine what material would be best to fabricate a new part out of.
Regardless if you want to go that material route I would look at Inconel then Tungsten and finally ceramics. This is the dreamland option.
The real answer is to get an external waste-gate that is either electrically controlled or has a metal bellows.
