^That can be true in certain situations, however what TheDevil was saying is that with the stock, very mild tune that you're running, an A/F gauge isn't a necessity. Not all B5's came with wideband O2 sensors, so if your A/F gauge is wired to an older sensor, its literally useless.

On top of that, EGT information can alert you to issues that A/F can't. EGTs will vary with fuel mixture but also with timing advance/retard with relation to boost pressure. An EGT gauge can alert you to issues like that as well as lean-burn conditions, for one example of their comparative strength over a A/F gauge.
