I guess an o2 sensor does the same thing, I just don't see the accuracy in running a single EGT gauge before the turbo... you'd have to have one per rotor if you are THAT picky about it...
I use an EGT guage to tune with nitrous oxide injection. Make a run with the system knowingly jetted rich, note the achieved peak horsepower, then back off on the fuel side until you reach your desired temp range.

You know how I feel on the autometer side...
