First Claim
Patent Images
1. A turbocharged engine comprising:
- a first scroll and a second scroll fluidically coupled to a turbine, the first scroll coupled to a first set of engine cylinders, the second scroll coupled to a second set of engine cylinders;
a first EGR takeoff including a first valve, the first EGR takeoff fluidically coupled to the first scroll;
a second EGR takeoff including a second valve, the second EGR takeoff fluidically coupled to the second scroll;
an EGR conduit coupled to the first and second EGR takeoffs having an EGR valve positioned therein downstream of both the first and second valves; and
a computer readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon, including;
instructions to, during a first condition close the first and second valves; and
instructions to, during a second condition open the first and second valves.
