I'm still at the "no one has solved this problem".

That's interesting. Maybe I was thinking of the Russian Navy. They made hulls of their submarines out of titanium.

They did use Ti for their hull on some of their deep diving units. Ti is stronger than steel, more resistant to corrosion (sort of), but will still flex which will ensure many stress cycles.

Wrapped it with thick fiberglass cloth, covered that in silicone, and wrapped it with aluminum foil and more silicone. The insulation is now touching the turbo, but I think its still better, like an oven-mitt. Opinions?
Also coated the mounting bolts with silicone and moved the bracket away from the mounting surfaces with fiber washers.

130K miles, then it was rebuilt and lasted 5 months. This one is a remanufactured one. They are not sold new.
