VG's on light twins

Some light twins, Piper Chieftain for example, have a gross weight increase when fitted with these after market STC items. I know what VG's do in terms of energising the boundary layer but not sure how it enables a weight increase. What otherwise limiting factor is being enhanced? Many Thanks.
