The car will not run, with #3 unplugged. A few members verified this when I was chasing a bad CPS. Bad CPS will also cause a no start condition, although the Bentley states otherwise.
Impedance should be between 80-120 ohms. Used sets of injectors sell for way less than $500.

I am curious if you have checked the wiring between the#3 injector and verified that the wires are good with 0 Ohms impedence. Like I said before, unless they messed up the pump, either fuel isn't going in or had nowhere to go.
I would leave the cat disconnected until it starts and runs, and run down the electrical so long as you have done a compression test (thought you mentioned that being done), if you can check actual pressure to the injectors and verify that the pump is not defective and there's enough pressure to pop the injectors, possibly pop test the injectors (20k should be okay) no assumptions if you want to figure it out.
If you have to pull the #1 injector and turn the line to it and stick a clear tube over it so you can see what happens with the fuel as it comes out (poor man's pop test).
This was the only way I could think of getting a view of the initial and main injection events.
To figure it out you need to rule out the assumptions and make them facts. Fuel actually entering the engine is a huge one, the video without smoke posted said that fuel wasn't entering the engine, or couldn't make it through the exhaust. Cat disconnected, look for smoke as it's cranked. If there's no smoke, then you need to find why no fuel is entering the engine. Bad nozzles, rebuilt pump, shut off valve, or signal to the pump/valve(you said it was operational, however, check the voltage when cranking and make sure it's getting 12V and opening all the way.) Really just have to run this one down with a solid plan.
As far as I see it, the timing is good, exhaust is separated, turbo is functional, I believe that you said you checked cam and crank sensors, (cam and crank sensors should be checked on ac with your DMM, voltage expected should be up to 2 volts generally speaking not sure what the spec is, just know if there's no AC voltage when cranking the engine sensor's no good.)
The rest is questionable.
