Greg,
Electrical gauges and their sender are matched to each other or at least to the brand and its temp range. The sender is just a variable resistor but if it has the wrong resistance the readings will be wrong.

Computer controlled engines use the coolant temp along with ambient air temp and others inputs to adjust the fuel injection. I think you may want to run new wires to your VDO gauges.
