Methods and systems are provided for a boosted engine having a split intake system coupled to a split exhaust system. Aircharges of differing composition, pressure, and temperature may be delivered to the engine through the split intake system at different points of an engine cycle. In this way, boost and EGR benefits may be extended.

1. A method of operating an engine cylinder, comprising: recirculating a first exhaust gas amount at a first pressure from only a first exhaust valve of the cylinder to only a first intake valve of the cylinder, while recirculating a second exhaust gas amount at a second pressure from only a second,
1. A method of operating an engine cylinder, comprising: recirculating a first exhaust gas amount at a first pressure from only a first exhaust valve of the cylinder to only a first intake valve of the cylinder, while recirculating a second exhaust gas amount at a second pressure from only a second, distinct exhaust valve of the cylinder to only a second, distinct intake valve of the cylinder, the first pressure higher than the second pressure. 2. A method of operating an engine cylinder under an operating condition of the engine, comprising: recirculating a first amount of exhaust gas at a first pressure from a first exhaust passage of the cylinder to a first intake passage of the cylinder, including opening a first exhaust valve in the first exhaust passage at a first exhaust valve timing of an engine cycle, while recirculating a second amount of exhaust gas at a second, different pressure from a second, distinct exhaust passage of the cylinder via a second, distinct intake passage, including opening a second exhaust valve in the second exhaust passage at a second, earlier exhaust valve timing of the engine cycle. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the engine includes a turbocharger compressor coupled to the second intake passage and not coupled to the first intake passage, the method further comprising driving the compressor by a turbine coupled to the second exhaust passage and not the first exhaust passage. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein recirculating the second amount of the exhaust gas includes diverting the second amount of exhaust gas from the second exhaust passage, upstream of the turbine, into the second intake passage, downstream of the compressor. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein recirculating the first amount of the exhaust gas includes opening a first intake valve in the first intake passage at a first intake valve timing, and wherein recirculating the second amount of the exhaust gas includes opening a second intake valve in the second intake passage at a second, later intake valve timing. 6. The method of claim 2, further comprising directly injecting fuel into the cylinder and mixing the injected fuel with the first and second amount of the exhaust gas in the cylinder. 7. A method for an engine cylinder under an operating condition, comprising: recirculating a first amount of exhaust gas from a first exhaust passage of the cylinder to a first intake passage via a first intake valve of the cylinder;recirculating a second amount of exhaust gas from upstream of a turbine in a second exhaust passage to downstream of a compressor in a second, separate intake passage of the cylinder via a second intake valve of the cylinder;injecting fuel into the cylinder;mixing the first amount of the recirculated exhaust gas with the second amount of the recirculated exhaust gas and the injected fuel in the cylinder; andcombusting the mixture in the cylinder, wherein recirculating the second amount of the exhaust gas includes recirculating the second amount of the exhaust gas that is at a higher pressure than the first amount of the exhaust gas. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein recirculating the first amount of the exhaust gas includes opening the first intake valve at a first intake valve timing of an engine cycle, and wherein recirculating the second amount of the exhaust gas includes opening the second intake valve at a second, different intake valve timing in the same engine cycle. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein opening the first intake valve includes opening the first intake valve at the first intake valve timing that is earlier in an intake stroke of the engine cycle than the second intake valve timing. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein opening the first intake valve at the first intake valve timing and the second intake valve at the second intake valve timing includes adjusting a valve phase of an intake valve actuator coupled to each of the first and second intake valves, the valve phase based on a first exhaust valve timing of a first exhaust valve in the first exhaust passage and a second exhaust valve timing of a second exhaust valve in the second exhaust passage. 11. The method of claim 8, wherein recirculating the first amount of the exhaust gas further includes opening the first intake valve with a first amount of intake valve lift and wherein recirculating the second amount of the exhaust gas further includes opening the second intake valve with a second, different amount of intake valve lift. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein opening the first intake valve includes opening the first intake valve with the first amount of intake valve lift that is smaller than the second amount of intake valve lift. 13. The method of claim 7, wherein recirculating the first amount of exhaust gas includes recirculating via a first recirculation passage coupled between the first exhaust passage and the first intake passage; and wherein recirculating the second amount of exhaust gas includes recirculating via a second recirculation passage coupled between the second exhaust passage, upstream of the turbine and the second intake passage, downstream of the compressor. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the first recirculation passage includes an EGR cooler, the method further comprising: during a first condition, operating the EGR cooler to heat an aircharge delivered to the cylinder through the first intake passage; andduring a second condition, operating the EGR cooler to cool an aircharge delivered to the cylinder through the first intake passage. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein recirculating the first amount of exhaust gas includes recirculating the first amount of the recirculated exhaust gas that is larger than the second amount of the recirculated exhaust gas.
