The energy that drives the turbine has to come from somewhere!! Expanding the gas causes a temperature drop, just like spraying paint from a can.

There are papers at the moment on new automotive turbochargers to withstand TIT's of over 1050 degC = 1920 degF. Interestingly, the difficult part is housing metallurgy, not the turbine.
