Which gauge? EGT or AF wideband

Currently running a T3/4 turbo at 10psi. I have oil press, oil temp, water temp & boost gauges already. I would like to get 1 more gauge? Between the EGT and A/F wideband, which is more important?

EGT doesn't tell you anything you need to know, get a wideband.

How many tuners use an EGT for tuning?

A/F is much more important than an EGT gauge.

I was told dont rely much on the EGT when tuning, go with the AFR instead.

Re: (tony1)

EGT for each cylinder with wide band ftw!.

MoTeC individual cylinder trim ftw!!

IIn this situation I would get an AFR guage although I don't believe that they are that reliable or accurate.
