Alternate performance mod ?

I have been reading past posts on the Dawes MBC. I would very much like something like this to eliminate the forced reduction of boost in 1st and 2nd gear, but I am leary of damage to the engine due to over boost.
It has occured to me that the ECU must know when the car is in 1st & 2nd gear, and that information has to come from a switch or sensor in the tranny. If this is true would it be possible to disconnect or jumper the sensor so that the ECU always thought the car was in 5th gear ?
My assumption is that forcing the ECU to think the tranny was in 5th would result in:
1) Max boost in all gears
2) No risk of damage to the engine as all ECU controls would remain in tact
3) Elimination of the "shift" light on the dashboard
Anyone out there have any thoughts on if this could work and how to do it ?
