i gaped them down to 32 if it matter?
could spark plugs get too hot , it looked like they where heating up to the point the color started changing around the first thread of the plug by the tip it was dark but almost like those titanium burnt tips |

yah, you know, except for the knocking and detonation, he should be fine gap them out or run colder plugs, running too hot on a boosted engine is just asking for knocking/pinging and pre-detonation, which = loss of power and worse fuel economy. |

at least you changed them. I believe poor spark plug maintenance has the potential to be much worse than 1 heat range pt.
