I don't believe there is currently a bolt on turbo kit available for the 3100/3400/3500 etc- only for the 3800. You could have a shop fab one up for you, but it could be a bit pricey. There really isn't a ton of fab work to be done- just have them follow the design of the 3800 kit- block off the downpipe, make a new crossover pipe with a turbo mount and integrate your wastegate piping into that. Make a new downpipe from the turbo to the stock exhaust- then its just a matter of getting the intake side setup which could be easy or hard depending if you wan to run an air to air IC or not. Run your oil line to the turbo, and you're set.

if so whats the difficulty level to install and what other mods will be nessesary?
The bolt on kits usually aren't terrible- they send you a pcm, and injectors, sometimes new spark plugs, and you're pretty much set to just bolt the stuff in.

what about nitrous? maybe a "weak" bottle?
What do you mean by a weak bottle? You can install nitrous on virtually any engine- pick whether you want a wet or dry kit, and pick what size shot you want to run. Its really not much harder than installing an audio amplifier in terms of time (running lines front to back and such)- so its pretty quick. However, it gets expensive quick if you use it a lot- bottles don't last too long, and that stuff isn't terribly cheap either.

a turbo setup will be all custom for the 3400. but not too hard to do if you have some skills.
the bottle is the easyer way to go i had a 75 shot on my stock 2.8 with no problems. and when i swaped in my 3400 i used a 125 shot.
