ok, six days on and I havent come close to 7.5lb of boost since installing the intake. I think I will experiment on moving the IAT to a more shallow depth into the intake pipe.
I never looked at the many many cheap intakes that always pop up when I am searching for something else, but there is a guy selling them displaying a picture that is almost identical to mine. only difference is I havent had the short ram and the engine cover on, ever, until about 30 minutes ago.

I have a short ram intake on my '96 SSEi, even without a heatshield I still make 7.5psi on a 90 degree Florida day. How do all of your vacuum lines look? I know when I installed the intake, I cracked the T-shaped vacuum fitting that goes to the throttle body. I couldn't get more than 5psi until I fixed it.

Outside temps have no direct effect on indicated boost. If you don't have equal boost from before the intake change, it'* something you did.
I agree on the filter. Don't say we didn't warn you.

That easy way might include sucking a bug through the engine
When I changed from stock to the rice pipe w/K&N boost increased.
On the 97 I gutted the baffles out of the original air box..dropped in a K&N knowing it wasn't an optimal setup, but kept the stock look. OMFG it increased..lemme tell ya
