Question Is Greddy wideband a/f? Is a/f gauge worth it when going single?

Ok as title says

Is this greddy a/f gauge..second in pod...wideband?

http://richmond.craigslist.org/pts/1569483492.html

Is a/f gauge a "got to have" for a single turbo conversion?

I currently have 60mm defi water temp, boost, egt...not sure how egt is ran and i am installing pfc so water temp is not a got to have.

I am looking at doing (dd):

gt3574 kit from sean at aspec $2500
fuel kit -secondary kit from sean $775
pfc-got it, need install and tune once single in
oil lines-braided ss $100
smic-not sure on this yet looking for cheap used one $300 if I lucky
ignition-hks ignition $400?
electic boost controller-used prob greddy $100+
block off-banzai
pulley-remove airpump-currently just disconnected
fluids
TUNE

think that a good list...am i missing anything..

Do i need a a/f ratio gauge if I am getting it tuned?

may not be in right section...sorry if posted incorrectly

Don't waste your money on an A:F gauge, for close to the same money you can install a wideband. You have a PFC so it is not a requirement to run the factory O2 sensor

a wideband is beneficial as it accurately measures your air to fuel ratios via an o2 sensor that is inserted into the downpipe. AFRs are extremely important when it comes to tuning your vehicle and it'll also make you aware of when your engine is leaning out so you can ease off the boost/throttle.

the wideband kit can also let you know when there are issues with your fuel injection with the readings it will give you.its pretty handy to have and id say you can only gain from having it installed

my wideband kit i am currently using:
