Harrier/AV8 engine intake blow-in doors

The Pegasus engines have blow-in or auxiliary doors on the intakes, which open at high power settings and supply more air.

How effective are they? By how much do they increase thrust? Any technical info on their performance increase on Harriers, or other aircraft where they are used, would be much appreciated.
