If you are asking if you can use a T1 boarding pass to clear immigration at T3, the answer is more nuanced. It will depend upon the protocols TK have in place with the airport, if you want to do that I'd check with the boarding pass ticketing agent. Although there are many anecdotes on these boards of folk entering non-departure terminals with the carrier they were on, it doesn't work with all airlines at all terminals with all manifestations of electronic / physical / home printed boarding cards.
Ahh totally forgot about the airside trains, so yes it does make sense to clear immigration at T1 and just take the train to T3. Many thanks again for all the help!
