One-Ball - Removing the resonator of the stock MCS exhaust
VGS - Vacuum Gain System (potential Yo-Yo fix)
You may want to add hyperlinks for each entry to the relevant thread, for example One-Ball info can be found here:

ECU = Engine Control Unit (the MINI's engine computer)
Lambda = a measurement of air/fuel ratio. A lambda of 1 is ideal. Less than 1 is rich. Greater than 1 is lean.
Stoichiometric = chemically ideal air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1
Rich = air/fuel ratio out of balance, with too much fuel
Lean = air/fuel ratio out of balance, with not enough fuel
(the last two may be too obvious or well-known for inclusion?)
Great idea, this list!

NOS= Nitrous Oxide System. That company who first started Nitrous oxide for car.
Squeezing= term use at the races referring to NOS.
holeshot= staging at the drag strip. when the lights turn green, the driver reacts quicker then his opponent.
deepstage= when you stage a little bit deeper at the second staging light, where the pre stage light go out.
thats it for now.i'm kinda bored here.
