I'm not aware of any way to install Android Market on the Stock OS,
As for the market website, I don't see why you would'nt be able to download apps from there so thats a first for me.
Have you tried going into your "My Market Account" settings and adding/editing your "My Devices" list?
This is just a wild guess since I had my device rooted and customed 1 hour after first taking it out of the box.
If no go with the web market, I might suggest you root your device and flash TnT Lite since it is simular to the Stock OS.
G'Luck!
there is but its a PITA. The Rev has written some instructions on doing this but I cant find them. (Do many worthless threads). If you want to search for them then you may find them or just read this and add a custom rom

The instructions below are a more concise compilation of instructions that can be found in various posts in the XDA Developer section. Use at your own risk. These instructions are what I used to update my Stock TNT 3588 to be able to use the Google Android Market, using ClockWorkMod. The ClockWorkMod install instructions can be found below in this post.
Get Generic Enhancement Pack v1: h+t+t+p+colon+slash+slash+www+.+multiupload.com/6IFY1JDSJQ (Use with Stock TNT 3452 and higher). This will allow for downloading of file TnT_Enhancement_3452_v1.rar. Unzip this .rar file which will produce files ‘update.zip’ and ‘recovery/command’
These procedures do not install a new ROM but updates existing Stock TNT to:
1) Run faster (Installs more current Nvidia drivers)
2) Install Google APPS (Google Android Market, GMAL, etc. – all except Calendar and Contacts which can be added separately from the android market)
Install Performance Pack For Stock TnT 3452 and above using ClockWorkMod
Step 0.
Install ClockworkMod.
Clockworkmod v.8 (only update.zip file)
h+t+t+p+colon+slash+slash+www+.+.mediafire.com/?dvleg4oatkfxm7w
See ClockWorkMod install instructions at bottom of this post
Step 1.
Delete the update.zip and recovery folder from your tablet (the ones we copied to install ClockworkMod). Don’t worry, this won’t uninstall ClockWorkMod.
Step 2.
From the Downloaded Generic Enhancement Pack v1 (See Link above), rename update.zip to ‘Generic Enhancement Pack v1.zip’ (or ‘whatever name.zip’ you want to name the zip file). The ‘recovery/command’ folder and file won’t be needed by ClockWorkMod.
Step 3.
Create a folder on your gtablet's internal storage (SDCARD) called ROMs.
(Do this by plugging your tablet into your computer, activating USB storage on your tablet, and then a "Removable" drive will pop up in "My Computer". Open that up, right click -> new -> folder.)
Unzip the ‘Generic Enhancement Pack v1.zip’ to that folder. (Leave it zipped, Clockwork will install it from the .zip file as is).
Step 4.
Turn off your device.
Step 5.
Boot into ClockworkMod. (Press the power button and the volume+ button at the same time until the Viewsonic splash screen pops up, release, then you should see “Detect a recovery key pressed”. After that it will think for a few seconds and then it should boot into ClockworkMod)
Step 6.
Breathe. This is where we are going to back up your tablet…just in case.
Navigate down to “Backup and Restore” using the volume buttons. When that is highlighted press the home button to select it.
Navigate to “Backup”, press the home button to select it…and it will back up your tablet. This will take some time (varies depending on how much stuff you have on there).
Step 7.
Navigate down to “mounts and storage” using the volume buttons. When that is highlighted press the home button to select it.
Step 8.
We want to mount “/system” and “/data”, so if it says “mount /system” that means system is not mounted yet.
Highlight “mount /system” and press the home button. The line should change to read “unmount /system”
Next, highlight “mount /data” and press the home button. The line should change to “unmount /data”
After the first line reads “unmount /system” and the second line reads “unmount /data” you’re done with this step, press the back button to go back to the main menu.
Step 9.
This is the step that we actually flash the ROM in.
Navigate down to “install zip from sdcard” and press the home button to select that option at the menu.
Then, navigate to “choose zip from sdcard” and press the home button to select that option.
Navigate to the line that reads “ROMs” and press the home button to select that option.
Navigate to the line that reads “Generic Enhancement Pack v1.zip” …for enhancement file you are flashing and press the home button to select that option.
Navigate to the line that reads “Yes – Install yourzipfile.zip” and press the home button to select that option.
You will now see it do its thing. When complete you will see something along the lines of “install zip from sdcard complete” at the bottom of the screen.
Press the back arrow over and over again until you get to the Clockwork’s main menu.
Step 10.
Here is where we prepare the system to run the new ROM.
Navigate down to “mounts and storage”, select it, and mount “/system” and “/data” again as in steps 7 and 8. Note that “/data” may already be mounted (showing “unmount /data”).
Back up to Clockwork’s main menu.
Navigate to “wipe data/factory reset”, select it. Navigate down to “Yes – delete all user data”, and select it to wipe out user data and all the cache. (You need to do this for the update to function correctly)
Now, navigate to the top option “reboot system now” and select it. Your tablet will now reboot. It may take up to 15 minutes to start up the first time. as it rebuilds the user data and cache for this ROM.
If your tablet bootloops (not likely with the performance pack)… Press and hold the power button to shut the device down. Boot back into Clockwork. Select the advanced option at the bottom, then go to “partition SD card”, for the first option select 2048, and for the second option select 0. Then, redo steps 7-10. This erases all data on your tablet, including backups.
Quick Market Fix (Follow Exactly) to be able to have access to all APPS in the Market.
Make sure Market is running, do search for tv.com, adw launcher, zeam launcher, launcher pro (they will not show up).
If you don't do this, there may be no cache to clear and for some reason the market fix may not work.
1) Go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Running
2) Scroll down to Market. Then hit Clear Cache, followed by Force Stop **DO NOT CLEAR DATA FOR MARKET**. (Clear DATA) may not show as an option to be cleared)
3) Go back, scroll down to Google Services Framework, hit Clear Data, then Force Stop.
4) Start Market again and you will get the Market Error.
5) Reboot and wait for Wifi to connect to your network before doing anything!
6) Restart Market again. Searches for previously missing apps now show up.
You may have to do steps 1 thru 6 once again if all the available apps don’t show up.
Done.
[GUIDE] How To Install ClockworkMod
________________________________________
This is step by step how to install ClockworkMod
If this does something bad to you or your device it's your fault. I take no responsibility for anything, any damage to you, your property, or anyone.
You will need...
1. Patience
2. to be willing to void your warranty
Step 1.
Unzip the downloaded file to your gtablet’s internal memory (SDCARD). Your internal memory should now contain a file named update.zip and a folder named recovery with a file named ‘command’ in this folder,
Step2.
Turn off your device.
Step 3.
Press the power button and the Volume+ button at the same time and release them when the Viewsonic splash screen pops up. You should see "Detect a recovery key pressed" pop up in the upper left corner of the screen.
Step 4.
Watch it install. Your tablet will reboot when installation is complete.
the easiest is to install titaniumbackup fromthe gmarket. Then install the tnt enhancement pack thatroebeet did. That leaves you as stock withmarket. Cwm. Is fine but could void warranty. If you want to see a lot YouTube ehunyadi. He did about 20 videos on the rims and the how to.
I've been trying to flash Raver's Octane Rom but when it flashes and starts up it doesn't load up. These are the steps I've been taking. I am on GB 2.3.7 ICBINB rom. Also I've tried with multiple cwm firmwares, right now I'm on 5.0.2.7.
Thanks

[Newbie] Complete Guide to for Rooting & Install a Custom Rom [Updated 9 Sep 2013]
This is aimed at new "rooters". The process is incredibly easy.
I also take no responsibility if you mess up somehow, and this is for GSM Hero's NOT Sprint Hero CDMA users.

I have now also included a link to z4root as an alternative.
Here is a link to my backup guide but please be aware that most of it requires root access.
Prelude:
Install HTC Sync from here
Download Universal Androot
Download z4root
Download Root Checker - only if you need to
Download AmonRA Recovery v1.7.0.1.img - easier if you rename this "recovery.img" when it is on your sdcard
Place both downloaded files on your SD Card
Root & Recovery
1. Download and install Astro File Manager from the Market (or use any other file management program of your choice)
2. Open Astro and find and install Universal Androot (or if that doesn't work try z4root) from your sdcard:
Select UniversalAndroot.apk > Open App Manager > Install > Settings> [tick] Unknown Sources > OK > Back > Select UniversalAndroot.apk > Open App Manager > Install > Install > Open
3. In the app and choose the correct version from the dropdown box:
Superuser for Android 2.0~2.2 - if you have updated your phone recently
Superuser for Android 1.5~1.6 - if you have refused updates recently or your country/provider hasn't released one yet
Then choose: "Root "
Wait until it says "Woot ! Your device is rooted !" and exit the program.
4. Download and install Android Terminal Emulator from the Market (use Better Terminal instead if this one doesn't work)
5. Run "Terminal Emulator". Type (press and hold menu to get the keyboard up) in the following:
su (press enter and wait for the "Super User Request Prompt". Choose "Allow" and make sure its ticked to Allow every time.)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (press enter - make sure this is typed exactly as seen)
N.B. If you have issues here, see * notes below for more assistance
6. Turn off your phone and press Home + Power to start it up again. This should boot into recovery mode.
Install Your Custom Rom
Note: This part of the guide can be repeated with as many different rom's as you like. You do not have to repeat the previous section once you have a recovery image installed.
1. Download a Custom ROM from here to your computer.
2. Make sure your phone is in recovery mode (Home + Power)
Plug your phone into your computer and select "USB-MS toggle" in recovery
Place the Custom ROM on your SD card in the main directory and press Home when it has finished copying over
3. Select Backup/Restore > Nand backup > confirm with Home > Wait
(or Nand + Ext if you have A2SD setup)
4. Press back then select Wipe from the main menu, then select:
Wipe data/factory reset > Home
Wipe cache > Home
Wipe Dalvik-cache > Home
Wipe SD:ext partition > Home
Press back button
Select Flash Zip from SD Card
Select the file
Press Home to confirm
Note: Ignore any "errors", they are normal and usually mean you're not using that feature.
5. Once it is done, select Reboot and you will boot into the new Custom ROM.
Updating your Radio
Note: The radio deals with your signal levels and connectivity.
1. Download the latest radio from the following page
N.B. Radio's are not region specific! Just get the latest
2. Mount your SD Card so your computer can read it and place the downloaded file in the main directory
3. Turn off your phone and boot into the recovery screen (holding Home + Power)
4. Choose:
Flash Zip from SD Card
Pick the radio.zip file and press Home to confirm
Wait
Your phone will reboot a couple of times but when you're back on the Recovery Screen just press reboot system now and it will complete the install and put you back into your custom rom.
DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY OUT, THIS WILL BRICK YOUR HANDSET.
5. When this process has completed reboot the phone and you should have the new radio. This can be checked in Settings > About Phone
