Systems and methods for operating a twin flow supercharged engine are provided. The exhaust lines of engine cylinders are grouped into separate manifolds connected to respective inlet ducts of the twin-flow turbine. The inlet ducts of the twin-flow turbine are of different sizes, with different-sized cross sections and/or different-sized exhaust-gas volumes. The exhaust line of a manifold with a smaller exhaust-gas volume is connected to the larger inlet duct, and the exhaust line of a manifold with the larger exhaust-gas volume is connected to the smaller inlet duct.

1. A supercharged internal combustion engine comprising: at least one cylinder head with at least four cylinders, each of which has at least one outlet opening which is adjoined by an exhaust line for discharging exhaust gases out of the cylinder, the at least four cylinders being configured in such a way as to form two groups, each group with at least two cylinders, the exhaust lines of only the cylinders of a first cylinder group merging to form a first overall exhaust line, the exhaust lines of the first cylinder group and the first overall exhaust line forming a first exhaust manifold, the exhaust lines of only the cylinders of a second cylinder group merging to form a second overall exhaust line, the exhaust lines of the second cylinder group and the second overall exhaust line forming a second exhaust manifold, the first exhaust manifold having a different-sized exhaust gas volume than the second exhaust manifold; andat least one twin-flow turbine which has an inlet region with a first and a second inlet ducts, wherein the first overall exhaust line opens out into the first inlet duct and the second overall exhaust line opens out into the second inlet duct,wherein the inlet ducts of the twin-flow turbine are of different sizes, with different-sized cross sections and/or different-sized exhaust-gas volumes, andwherein the overall exhaust line of the exhaust manifold with a smaller exhaust-gas volume is connected to a larger inlet duct, and the overall exhaust line of the exhaust manifold with a larger exhaust-gas volume is connected to a smaller inlet duct. 2. The supercharged internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two inlet ducts of the twin-flow turbine are designed such that |p1T−p2T|<|p1,max−p2,max|, where p1T and p2T denote the pressure peaks at an outlet of the first and second inlet ducts respectively, and p1,max and p2,max denote the pressure peaks in the first and second manifolds respectively at an inlet into the associated inlet duct. 3. The supercharged internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 2, wherein the two inlet ducts of the twin-flow turbine are designed such that p1T ≈p2T, where p1T and p2T denote the pressure peaks at the outlet of the first and second inlet ducts respectively. 4. The supercharged internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, in which the at least one cylinder head has at least four cylinders in an in-line arrangement, wherein the first cylinder group comprises two outer cylinders and the second cylinder group comprises the at least two inner cylinders. 5. The supercharged internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 4, in which the at least one cylinder head has four cylinders in an in-line arrangement, wherein the first cylinder group comprises the two outer cylinders and the second cylinder group comprises the two inner cylinders. 6. The supercharged internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein each cylinder has at least two outlet openings for discharging the exhaust gases out of the cylinder, and firstly the exhaust lines of the at least two outlet openings of each cylinder merge to form a partial exhaust line associated with the cylinder, before the partial exhaust lines of all of the cylinders in the cylinder group merge to form the overall exhaust line of the cylinder group. 7. An engine, comprising: two inner cylinders between two outer cylinders inline;a first manifold coupled to only the outer cylinders;a second manifold coupled to only the inner cylinders, a volume of the second manifold less than the first manifold; anda twin-flow turbine including a first duct coupled to the first manifold and a second duct coupled to the second manifold, a cross-section of the first duct being smaller than the second duct. 8. An engine, comprising: two inner cylinders between two outer cylinders inline;a first manifold coupled to only the outer cylinders;a second manifold coupled to only the inner cylinders, a volume of the second manifold less than the first manifold; anda twin-flow turbine including a first duct coupled to the first manifold and a second duct coupled to the second manifold, a gas volume of the first duct being smaller than the second duct.
