They sometimes boost but not by much. Depends on your situation! Not worth the money in my opinion.
I had to look at the Stuart Turner one recently ( never got to fit it though)
It will increase your existing pressure by 1.6 Bar and maintain a 12 ltr min flow rate.
I think it was Agile that suggested that some cheeky plumbers remove the flow restrictor, contravening regs but boosting the flow rate further

I never suggested that anyone was doing something in contravention of the Water Regs.
Merely pointed out that the restrictor COULD be removed from the pump!
One good feature of the S-T unit is that there is a bypass valve so that if the incoming pressure/flow was higher then mains flow can bypass the pump to increase the flow beyond 12 li/min. That can happen on upper floors where the mains supply is shared with the lower floors and the supply is adequate when no flow is being taken from below.
