I have a problem with the compression readings. IIRC, turbos should be around 156 - 185psi, not 200+. It is possible that the cylinder chambers are full of carbon which is raising the compression ratio.

There are too many reasons for a no-start, including timing belt slip and a headgasket that has holes in it. Without codes, it is probably a too rich condition brought on by leaks in vacuum system, a plugged vacuum system, leaking exhaust manifold...

For $800, you could have a very nice interior for your car.
