Seems pretty unlikely to me, but what do I know! What I do know is that £5 + £2.5 p&p looks like a pretty expensive resistor to me...

Its 99% boll*x. They work by making the ECU think the engine is colder than it is, so it puts in more fuel. Even the old 14CUx is smarter than that, it realises the mixture is too rich, and winds the amount of fuel back to compensate anyway. Net gain 0%. They should be shot for such claims! As we have discussed, you might gain a tad with a variable fuel pressure regulator, but having looked at this more closely recently I think the ECU also compensates for changes in fuel pressure as well (at idle), so apart from getting the injectors to work at an ideal pressure, I dont think you can get significantlty more fuel in. Its really all down to the mapping.
