Since there's more energy per volume in colder air (that's why we have the intercooler in the intake system), it would make sense the same thing would count at the exhaust side of the engine (more molecules per cubic mm = more energy)?!? So I think the high temperature is actually a disadvantage. The enthalpy doesn't make the turbine spin, it's the gasflow, which is a stream of molecules (air, residual elements, etc.) in motion. One thing I do know for sure is that extreme temperatures cause faster wear ;-)
