With all due respect, the ability to manually override engine control schedules was removed for good reason. While it was possible to achieve some manual control on a JT8D-vintage engine, with a pressure ratio of 12 -15 perhaps, it's just not feasable in a modern compressor with double that compression (or more).

The industry understands this issue, and it's the price that's paid for high fuel efficiency.
