Hey dude, if you're going to turbo a 2004+ RAV4 (2AZ-FE VVT-i engine), you'd be better off getting a supercharger kit that Toyota US will be supplying to their Scion's with the same engine. This will probably cost less than a custom 2.4L turbo setup, but it's probably gonna be a bitch to get your hands on though. 
If you get onto the RAV4OZ site and check out the "4.2 DIY" forum (2001-2005 models), there's a recently-added thread about a guy in Sweden (Pasi) who turbo'd a 2.0L (1AZ-FE VVT-i) RAV4 and dropped down 170 aw/kw (278 aw/hp) for his effort.  I'd say you could use a turbo setup similar to that if you wanted to go custom, but you'd need to utilise many of the same components he had manufactured from scratch. Like mine, not an easy task, but it CAN be done.  Also it does depend on the output you want to go for as well... this guy in Sweden put out that power on only 7Psi with stock internals. You can imagine where the power will take you if you did something like I did with a Celica GT-Four engine and running-gear. Also I dare say that the same running-gear could be adapted to your RAV4 as well, if you were that hardcore about it. 
See you on RAV4OZ.com if you're still interested.
