Is it possible? Any type of turtle to go with a Jardini that hasnt had any aggression problems with any fish? I can get a basking platform and heat lamp.

Of course there are turtles who could live together with your aro just fine. But simply a basking platform won't be enough if you have female turtles. They need to have a place to lay eggs, because sometimes they do it without having a partner. You don't want to risk losing your turt because of egg retention.
A few species that could get along fine (both in terms of temperature needs and character) are:
Phrynops geoffroanus or Phrynops tuberosus
Macrochelodina rugosa = siebenrocki
All Podocnemis (but watch out, some species will get really huge)
Callagur borneoensis (gets fairly large)
Mesoclemmys = Batrachemys = Phrynops nasuta
Note that turtles need more space than similar sized fish and for all of these species I mentioned you will need at least 1000 litres of tank space if they are grown up.

Keeping the smaller musk and mud turtle species might work but they don't like deep water and are pretty poor swimmers.
i wouldnt risk it.
arowanas need real good water quality. youd need a hell of a filtration system
