Seems like the dyno's are consistent.
This dyno is on the correct SAE correction factor, so thats usually going to show less than a STD correction.
No cats right?
Check for stored codes and clear them. Code scanner can be bought here at Walmart of all places.
I see your in the Middle East, what gas are you running there?
If sport mode is on, manual shift mode is activated and traction control is fully disabled and the dyno pull is done in 6th gear, then I would wait another 1k miles and try it again. You have nothing to lose.

Sport mode on, trc off, 6th gear pull, 95RON, catless. Even if SAE shows low #s, I just gained 4whp from the baseline which is not right. Ill look into the scanner. Can someone show it to me?

What im saying is that computer needs to relearn. Take some time, enjoy the car and revist the dyno in another 1k, or chase your tail.
Every month someone comes here and complains they didnt post the same hp as most others do.

I bought this scanner:

There is a port under your steering column that is plugs into. This model is a little pricy, but does a lot of things. I got mine, brand new, from a seller on eBay for a great price.

When you hook it up it will read out codes that have been thrown. Look up the codes online and post em up here.
When its done scanning it will ask if you wanna clear them. If its a problem that needs to be fixed then the code will come back.
Most auto stores here in the states will read your computer for free...just an idea.
Dv8tion388: did you pull your fuses/reset the ecu after the mod installs?

Other than Code reading, what should I look for? I mentioned that I had a leak from the dipstick but it supposedly has been fixed. Should I visit another shop and have them look at the o2 sensors? and what should I look for exactly with those?

I would invest in a wide band, or some other way to monitor the A/F ratio in real time. By doing this, you should be able to get a gist of what your car is doing.

The guy who dynoed the car had a wideband during the runs and mentioned that as the rpms go higher, the car keeps on getting rich.. starts in the 12s and ends in the 11s

No that's actually getting richer.
