Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for determining a cylinder air charge based on a boost manifold volume of an engine. In one example, a method may include inducing a compressor surge event, and updating the boost manifold volume in response to a difference between an actual surge pressure and an expected surge pressure. The method further includes determining the cylinder air charge based on the updated boost manifold volume.
