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.

Good advice.
I was thinking ceramics too for heat non-conductivity reasons. But I wouldn't know how to approach that and I didn't even know Inconel was generally available at all, thought that was just sort of a Navy thing.
