Only wind shear escape manoeuvre on a non FD take off - after pressing TOGA
After you press TOGA you will get FDs ON even if OFF during take off.windshear or not.
TOGA is one thing ,winshear escape is another.
If toga pitch is not satisfactory,ie you aint climbing,pitch must be adjusted to the PLI which is THE reference limit to your pitch during windshear.

PLI (pitch limit indicator) was designed for windshear recovery not TOGA.
If you take off with no FD selected and enter windshear,apply max thrust and pitch for 15 deg,if not enough pitch until max (pli) and firewall.
If you take off with fds ,follow fds..and firewall as necessary(ie approaching ground contact).

Read about TOGA in your fcom and windshear maneuver in your qrh?
If i misunderstood your question again,try writing a clearer question.
