I'd be worried about other problems cropping up when you control the solenoids yourself and disconnect the TCU. You could imagine that the stock TCU allows more slip when the fluid is cold, goes into limp mode if a problem is detected, shifts at redline if you forget, pulses the solenoids so they don't burn out, and other random things. The TCU and ECU also talk over a couple different lines. They discuss things like timing retard while shifting and who knows what else. Now, could you remove the TCU, install the controller, remove the AT ECU, and install a MT ECU? Would that let you redline at 7500 (or whatever it is for MT)? There are alot of questions that need answering. Most of it boils down to someone just buying it and testing.
