EDIT: if you bought it used and ecutek can enable it, it may be tuned. That would be my guess
it's not a "big" no-no, but it definitely isn't a best practice. The synchro wear by doing that isn't going to be significant if you're a good manual driver all around- the gearset would most likely explode before the synchro gets worn from not rev matching all the tie
