1. A method for an engine, comprising: in response to a tip-in, adjusting an opening of a scroll valve coupled to an outer scroll of a multi-scroll exhaust turbine to reduce turbo lag;adjusting an amount of exhaust gas recirculated to an engine intake based on the scroll valve opening;wherein adjust
1. A method for an engine, comprising: in response to a tip-in, adjusting an opening of a scroll valve coupled to an outer scroll of a multi-scroll exhaust turbine to reduce turbo lag;adjusting an amount of exhaust gas recirculated to an engine intake based on the scroll valve opening;wherein adjusting the opening of the scroll valve includes reducing the opening of the scroll valve, the reducing based on an estimated or measured turbine speed or boost pressure at the tip-in;wherein the reducing based on the turbine speed includes, as a difference between the estimated or measured turbine speed and a requested turbine speed increases, moving the scroll valve towards a fully closed position, and wherein the reducing based on the boost pressure includes, as a difference between an estimated or measured boost pressure and a requested boost pressure increases, moving the scroll valve towards the fully closed position; andwherein the adjusting of the scroll valve is further based on an ambient air density, the scroll valve moved towards the fully closed position as ambient air density decreases. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein adjusting the amount of exhaust gas recirculated to the engine intake includes reducing an amount of EGR as the scroll valve moves towards the fully closed position. 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising adjusting an opening of a wastegate coupled across the exhaust turbine in response to the tip-in, the wastegate opening based on the scroll valve opening, the wastegate moved towards a fully closed position as the scroll valve is moved towards the fully closed position. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein a timing of the wastegate adjustment is based on a timing of the scroll valve adjustment and further based on an authority of the wastegate relative to an authority of the scroll valve. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the wastegate adjustment follows the scroll valve adjustment when the wastegate has a lower authority, and wherein the wastegate adjustment follows or is concurrent with the scroll valve adjustment when the wastegate has a higher authority. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein the timing of the scroll valve adjustment is based on a transmission event following the tip-in. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein reducing the opening of the scroll valve includes reducing the opening until the turbine speed is at or above a threshold speed, the method further comprising, after the turbine speed is at or above the threshold speed, opening the scroll valve. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein reducing the opening of the scroll valve includes fully closing the scroll valve. 9. A method for an engine, comprising: in response to a tip-in, closing a scroll valve coupled to an outer scroll of a multi-scroll turbine for a duration;reducing an amount of EGR delivered to the engine for the duration,wherein the duration is based on turbine speed following the tip-in. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the closing for the duration further includes closing until a measured or estimated turbine speed is at or above a threshold speed relative to requested turbine speed. 11. The method of claim 9, further comprising, after the duration has elapsed, opening the scroll valve while maintaining the amount of EGR delivered to the engine. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein closing the scroll valve includes fully closing the scroll valve and wherein opening the scroll valve includes fully opening the scroll valve. 13. An engine system, comprising: an engine;a turbocharger for providing a boosted aircharge to the engine, the turbocharger including an intake compressor and an exhaust turbine, the exhaust turbine including a first outer scroll and a second inner scroll;a scroll valve coupled between an engine exhaust manifold and an inlet of the first outer scroll;a wastegate included in a bypass coupled between an inlet and an outlet of the turbine;an EGR system with an LP-EGR valve in an LP-EGR passage for recirculating exhaust gas from downstream of the turbine to upstream of the compressor, and an HP-EGR valve in an HP-EGR passage for recirculating exhaust gas from upstream of the turbine to downstream of the compressor; anda controller with computer readable instructions for, in response to a tip-in, closing the scroll valve until turbine speed is higher than a threshold speed; andadjusting each of the LP-EGR valve and the HP-EGR valve to vary a ratio of HP-EGR to LP-EGR based on the scroll valve closing. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the controller includes further instructions for closing the wastegate after closing the scroll valve. 15. The system of claim 13, wherein adjusting each of the LP-EGR valve and the HP-EGR valve includes increasing an opening of the LP-EGR valve while decreasing an opening of the HP-EGR valve to increase a ratio of LP-EGR to HP-EGR. 16. The system of claim 13, wherein the controller includes further instructions for, after the turbine speed is higher than the threshold speed, opening the scroll valve and increasing an opening of the HP-EGR valve while decreasing an opening of the LP-EGR valve to increase a ratio of HP-EGR to LP-EGR.
