It's that thermodynamics thing. The more fuel you inject creates more heat and the hot air in movement is what turns the turbine rotter on the turbo. The hotter the air the faster it moves.

Outside air temp can have a small impact on EGT.

How much fuel, what RPM the engine is running, and how long the hill you are pulling how much weight up have a bigger impact on EGT.

How restrictive your exhaust pipe is has a bigger impact on EGT than ambient air temp does.
