If they do it won't be much, and for the price I'd say it's not worth it

What part are you asking about? You have pictured what looks like a waste gate and a blow off valve flange.

What you have pictured is a wastegate. It's used for turbochargers to allow excess exhaust gases to escape in order to protect the turbo.

If you don't have a turbo, this is useless and you will see no gains whatsoever.
