All we really know about Sylar in this timeline is that at some point he kills Peter Patrelli and takes his place. Now depending on when he does that he may or may not have anything to do w/ the bomb.

Peter doesn't have to acquire nuclear power from
anyone. I think it's been implied the whole series that he is a walking, combustible bomb due to his power absorption. If there was someone with nuclear powers, then the only one who would have it at this point would be Molly Walker (as implied by the previews). However, unless it is by sheer coincidence, she has no reason to run into Peter at all, unless Thompson has something to do with it (who knows that Molly is the only one who can stop Sylar).
Sylar DOES need regenerative powers if he is injured in the explosion of New York, because all signs point to him being there in the season finale, and he needs to survive the bomb blast for the future to happen the way it was predicted. It would be a serious plothole if Sylar is not in New York when the bomb goes off, because the future timeline characters all believed he died in the explosion.
