One stupid answer: I don't see how it could.

Default Pre turbo hose leak could cause higher EGT's
Hard to see how a post turbo leak, which causes richer mix, would lead to higher EGT's

so, depending on where the leak would be, it *could* cause that?

Default Yes. But I think it's more likely you have a bad EGT sensor, they seem to die of their own volition
Sometimes also because the manifold is cracked & leaking
