You turbos will not be happy with the change. Synthetic will hold up to the heat the stock turbos generate much better than fossil.

You SHOULDN't have problems. I've gone back and forth before with no issues.

You MIGHT develop some leaks though, as the sytnthetics tend to clean everything out a little and may get rid of some buildup from the dino juice. It shouldn't hurt though.

Stay with synthetic, especially if you've started with synthetic from the beginning of the motor's life!
