An EGT gauge measures (ahem) exhaust gas temperature. This reading is directly related to the internal combustion temperature of the engine, and indirectly related to the quality of the air/fuel mixture entering the engine.
The principle is obvious: if the engine gets too hot inside, parts melt. While other gauges can give an indirect indication, only an EGT can give a direct indication that the engine is operating correctly.
So why would this be for Diesel only?

also like you said it's a way of mesuring AFR's which if you have a wideband why do you need two gauges that do the same thing?
i couldn't really tell you why they're important on diesel's tho.

I googled that Information because I really didn't know what it was. So I was just asking.
I've had thermostat's that went bad, So the EGT would help you to know in that case. And after awhile of having the EGT gauge on there you would know what was normal for your car.

_So say CherryBox sees that this has been flagged, he would spilt it (remove the EGT talk and put it in a new thread started by him) and then issue warning to to the "disrupter's" of the thread for discussing something was off topic.
