If you could only use one of those two choices I would go with wideband. If not then go and dyno with a wideband.

Some use EGT because they cant afford Wideband. Definately get a Wideband first. Make sure its displaying correctly. Wideband sensors or displays can fail.

I personally would like to look at both, if the wideband starts being a bitch,
then I'd look at EGT. If they're not agreeing with each other, then something is wrong.

I am trying to get both. I'm shooting for an FJO wideband along with a GReddy EGT gauge.

most places tune your car with the wide band. get it tuned and then get a egt to monitor it, don't try and tune it you self, it doesn't have good endings, i am speaking from experience
