No. They're a bodge which may get you 1-2bhp if you're lucky but they could also lose you power depending on which bodge the chip is based on. There won't be a noticeable difference but some are potentially dangerous towards your engine, I wouldn't try one even if I was given it for free.

For actual bhp gains, spend an extra £25 and buy this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OPD-performance-inlet-manifold-corsa-tigra-barina-X16XE-X14XE-C16XE-/261247361750?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cd38e62d6

Average price for good non turbo remap is about £200
Have a look at Superchips and depending what and how old your car is depends on wether its chip change or can be mapped.
