Default Will I need a wideband O2

This is probably a n00b question, but I did search and read. I'm going turbo in the next few monthes. I will be running a hondata 200s w/ boost and plan to run about 12 lbs of boost on street and 15 lbs at the track. I plan to have the car dyno tuned. Is there any advantages of having a wideband O2 if I'm already having it tuned with a wideband O2 on the dyno. Thanks for the help.

if you're just gonna tune it on the dyno, NO, you won't need a wideband.

unless you're planning to do some street tuning, then you can use the wideband on the dyno.

Yes, wideband is the BEST and most important gauge your money can buy.

I recommend tech-edge because its VERY cheap and VERY effective for a wideband unit.

So what advantages are there to having a wideband o2. From what I am aware it is the best way to keep track of my a/f ratio, however if it is tuned well wouldn't I not really need to keep a close track of it. Would having it connected to the hondata have any added advantage over not having the wideband o2? Such as the hondata being able to better read the a/f ratio and adjust if I am running lean or rich.
