He's probably thinking that adding more pressure will increase the circumference of the tire which could be an issue for syncros. In reality, any increase would be minimal and not something to be concerned about. If you check the tire pressure placard inside the driver-side door you will see the recommended pressures for the original tires and they are different on front and rear.
