quote "Ignition advance component resistor"

I presume then it's just a resistor you could buy for 5p from an electronics shop. I've seen this before for various cars and its always seemed like a rip off.

"adds up to 20+ BHP"

So which is it, "up to 20" or "20+" ?!
It's a 1p resistor, which some people pay £20 for.

think it mods some intake sensor into giving a lower temp reading which makes the ecu chuck in more fuel.

2p resistor and a crap photocopied instruction sheet.
