Default EGT Gauge and sensor senders

Im trying to buy an exaust gas temperature gauge. found a good price on one. but along with purchasing it you must pick a sender. ive called around and ive been getting mixed messages. saying i can use my OEM oxygen sensor, or i have to buy a aftermarket sensor/sender. ive been researching it as well and i cant figure it out. i get the same information on the internet as well as back at home in md. if u hav information on the subject please let me know
thanks

its for my 95 civic/del sol ex

Is there a phone number or anything i can get and ask the question. can any one redirect my problem

Are you talking about an EGT probe, or a Wideband O2 sensor?

wow, in response to your PM.

A wideband O2 sensor is like the stock O2 sensor, except much more accurate and robust. It measures the ratio of air to fuel. It has an O2 sensor that looks like it's stock, but this goes to some sort of control unit and/or display.

And EGT probe, meansures the temperature of the gases coming out of the cylinder.

They are two completely seperate things.
