What you must understand is the engine is run by computer that constantly changes it's running program based on inputs from 'vairable' sensors.
Take away a sensor and sub a fixed value; you loose one ability of the computer to adjust to changing conditions.
This can bring on other problems because the computer learns/knows and tries to correct for the sensor that does not respond in a reasonable amount of time. A fixed value cannot respond.
These systems are designed to operate over a very wide range of conditions.
Fixing/restricting any sensor operation is not the way but only begins to limit that wide operating range. This is when other drivability problems could begin to be seen, at some point.

If it looks like a duck and smells like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's not a rhinocerous.
They're not worth it. They will nto truly increase the output of the engine, simply manipulate the computer into thinking a condition exists that doesn't. It can result in some long-term damage depending on what trick it's trying to pull.
