If the gauge is not meant to be used with that particular sensor resistance range, the gauge is going to look like an inaccurate pile of crap. The gauge may work great, just not with that sensor range. All temp sensors are not the same, and therefore all gauges cannot work with all temp sensors.. That is why many temp gauges come with their own sensors, and the reason that some gauges are car model/brand specific (to work with the stock sensors).
So don't confuse gauge quality with sensor compatibility.
