For whoever asked, EGT = Exhaust Gas Temperature, it monitors the temperature of your exhaust gas (duh). EGTs should be a certain temperature and if it's above or below this ideal temperature it means you're running too rich or too lean etc. It's a good way of preventing or detecting detonation.
If you had an air/fuel ratio gauge....why would you want the EGT gauge as well?....They A/F Ratio gauge tells you if you're lean/rich....and probably more accurate than the EGT.
