This should be posted in another forum, not Army Lists.
From page 33 of the Tyranid Codex:
"Synapse Creatures and Tyranid units that are within 12" of a Synapse Creature are said to be within synapse range. "
As the current Tyranid FAQ does not mention how synapse affects allied or opposing Tyranids, using RAW it looks like you can use your ally's synapse as well as your opponent's!
