Insanely high IATs. Kill me.

So, I have a Perrin short-ram air intake on my 2006 WRX, and I cannot get my temps down to save my life. I've been logging my IATs and they are consistently 15-30 degrees higher than ambient temps when driving, and close to double the ambient temperature when at a standstill. My turbo is ceramic coated, as well covered by a turbo blanket on the hot side, my headers, uppipe, and downpipe are all wrapped, I've got an SPT intake heat shield with DEI Gold on the outside to prevent it from becoming heatsoaked, and the intake pipe is also wrapped in DEI Gold to prevent heatsoak. Nothing has helped. I'm pretty close to losing my sanity here. I feel like I've tried everything to lower my engine bay temps, but nothing has seemed to have a significant effect. I want to make this work, but I feel as if this intake has become more trouble than it's worth. I just want to try everything before I make a switch.

Side note: The strange thing is, even though my IATs are apparently insanely high, I can leave my car running for 20+ minutes while sitting still and when I touch the hood it's completely cool. You would think that if the under-the-hood temps were high enough to be recording IATs almost double the ambient temperature at times, the hood would at least be warm from that heat, but it's not at all.

Here's a list of my mods so there is no room for any confusion:

VF39 with ceramic coating and turbo blanket
STI TMIC with DEI Gold on the endtanks
Tomei turbo inlet
Perrin short-ram intake with DEI Gold on the piping
SPT intake heat shield with DEI Gold on the side facing the motor
Tomei UEL headers with DEI titanium wrap
Tomei uppipe with DEI titanium wrap
Invidia catless downpipe with DEI titanium wrap
Perrin cat-back exhaust
Koyorad aluminum racing radiator
Perrin AOS
COBB EBCS

Last four probably aren't important, but I figured I'd throw them in there anyway. Anyone have any tips?
