A supercharger compressor includes a plurality of rotors rotatably mounted in a housing, a first inlet for air, a second inlet for recirculated exhaust gas, and a flow separator. The flow separator is arranged interior the housing and configured to form a slideable seal with at least one rotor of the plurality of rotors, the slideable seal fluidically isolating the first inlet from the second inlet, at least in part, and retarding pressure equalization therebetween.

1. A method for inducting air into a combustion chamber of an engine, the engine having a supercharger compressor coupled to an intake manifold, the method comprising: supplying air to a first inlet of the supercharger compressor at a first pressure; andsupplying recirculated exhaust to a second inlet of the supercharger compressor at a second pressure different from the first pressure; andproviding internal EGR in the combustion chamber during an internal EGR mode. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein supplying air to the first inlet of the supercharger compressor comprises compressing the air in an exhaust-driven turbocharger compressor. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein supplying recirculated exhaust to the second inlet comprises controlling an amount of the recirculated exhaust supplied through the second inlet by adjusting a control valve coupled to the second inlet. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein supplying recirculated exhaust through the second inlet comprises controlling an amount of the recirculated exhaust supplied through the second inlet by rotating the flow separator relative to the housing. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein supplying recirculated exhaust through the second inlet comprises controlling an amount of the recirculated exhaust supplied through the second inlet by sliding the flow separator relative to the housing. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising retarding equalization of pressure between the air supplied to the first inlet and the recirculated exhaust selectively supplied to the second inlet when a slideable seal fluidically isolates the first inlet from the second inlet at least in part, wherein retarding said equalization of pressure comprises maintaining the air and the recirculated exhaust separate up to a compression region within the supercharger. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising adjusting an amount of recirculated exhaust supplied to the second inlet in response to one or more of a load, a speed and a manifold air flow rate of the engine. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising adjusting an amount of air supplied to the first inlet, the adjusting based on engine speed and engine load. 9. A supercharger compressor disposed in an engine system, comprising: a plurality of rotors rotatably mounted in a housing, said housing further comprising: a first inlet coupled to an intake air conduit of the engine system and receiving compressed air from a turbocharger compressor;a second inlet coupled to an exhaust conduit of the engine system and receiving exhaust gas at a location downstream from a turbocharger turbine; anda flow separator arranged interior the housing and configured to form a slideable seal with at least one rotor of the plurality of rotors, the slideable seal fluidically isolating the first inlet from the second inlet, at least in part, and retarding pressure equalization therebetween, the flow separator being movably and adjustably coupled to the housing, where movement of the flow separator relative to the housing adjusts an opening amount of the second inlet. 10. The supercharger compressor of claim 9, wherein the flow separator is rotatably coupled to the housing, and wherein rotating the flow separator relative to the housing adjusts the opening amount of the second inlet. 11. The supercharger compressor of claim 9, wherein the flow separator is slideably coupled to the housing, and wherein sliding the flow separator relative to the housing adjusts the opening amount of the second inlet. 12. The supercharger compressor of claim 9, wherein the plurality of rotors comprises at least two counterrotating rotors configured to seal against each other. 13. An engine system comprising: an intake air conduit;an exhaust conduit;a supercharger compressor comprising a plurality of rotors rotatably mounted in a housing, a first inlet fluidically coupled to the intake air conduit, a second inlet fluidically coupled to the exhaust conduit, and a flow separator arranged interior the housing and configured to form a slideable seal with at least one rotor of the plurality of rotors, the slideable seal fluidically isolating the first inlet from the second inlet at least in part, and retarding pressure equalization therebetween, wherein the flow separator is movably and adjustably coupled to the housing, and wherein movement of the flow separator relative to the housing adjusts an opening amount of the second inlet. 14. The engine system of claim 13, further comprising a turbocharger compressor mechanically coupled to an exhaust-driven turbine, wherein the intake air conduit is coupled downstream of the turbocharger compressor, and wherein the exhaust conduit is coupled downstream of the turbine. 15. The engine system of claim 13, further comprising a control valve coupled in the exhaust conduit and configured to control an amount of recirculated exhaust admitted through the second inlet. 16. The engine system compressor of claim 13, wherein the flow separator is fixed to the housing. 17. The engine system compressor of claim 13, wherein movement of the flow separator relative to the housing adjusts an amount of recirculated exhaust admitted through the second inlet, the system lacking a control valve coupled in the exhaust conduit and configured to control an amount of recirculated exhaust admitted through the second inlet.
