Abstract
A control system for an engine including a turbocharger disposed downstream of a plurality of cylinders. The control system includes an engine sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of an operational characteristic of the engine. The control system includes a first valve configured to control exhaust flow through a first set of cylinders from the plurality of cylinders. The control system includes a second valve configured to control exhaust flow through a second set of cylinders from the plurality of cylinders. The control system includes a controller communicably coupled to the engine sensor, the first valve, and the second valve. The controller is configured to receive the signal generated by the engine sensor. The controller is configured to actuate the first valve and the second valve based on the received signal. The first valve and the second valve are actuated to adjust exhaust flow received by the turbocharger.
