1. A method for controlling an engine, comprising: direct injecting fuel to cylinders of the engine;transitioning, by adjusting an actuator via a controller with memory, a restriction in exhaust upstream of only a first scroll and not a second scroll of a multi-scroll exhaust turbine based on an indication of operating conditions from one or more sensors, the exhaust turbine coupled to a compressor in an intake of the engine; andadjusting a timing of the transitioning via the controller based on an upcoming transmission shift event. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first and second scrolls are coupled to a common exhaust manifold coupled to each cylinder of the engine. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the adjusting includes, in response to the upcoming transmission shift event, timing the transitioning to at least partially overlap the upcoming transmission shift event. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the adjusting includes, in response to the upcoming transmission shift event, timing the transitioning to immediately follow the upcoming transmission shift event. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein, in response to a duration between the upcoming transmission shift event and a request for transitioning restriction being smaller than a threshold, timing the transitioning during the upcoming transmission shift event, and in response to the duration between the upcoming transmission shift event and the request for transitioning restriction being larger than the threshold, timing the transitioning before the upcoming transmission shift event. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising, during timing the transitioning during the upcoming transmission shift event, increasing clutch slippage and/or adjusting spark retard during the transitioning, the increasing based on the transitioning. 7. The method of claim 5, wherein the actuator comprises a scroll valve coupled to the first scroll and where the second scroll is positioned inner to the first scroll, the scroll valve not coupled to the second scroll, and wherein the transitioning restriction in exhaust includes transitioning an opening of the scroll valve. 8. An engine system, comprising: an engine having cylinders coupled to an exhaust manifold;a direct injector coupled in each cylinder;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 coupled with the exhaust manifold;a scroll valve coupled between the exhaust manifold and an inlet of the first outer scroll;a transmission including a clutch; anda controller with computer readable instructions in memory for, transitioning an opening of the scroll valve responsive to engine operating conditions;timing the transitioning based on a shift schedule of the transmission; andadjusting slippage of the clutch during the transitioning. 9. The system of claim 8, further comprising an exhaust gas recirculation passage coupled to the exhaust manifold and to an intake downstream of the compressor. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein timing the transitioning includes timing the transitioning to at least partially overlap with the shift schedule of the transmission, wherein the first and second scrolls are coupled in parallel to the exhaust manifold. 11. The system of claim 9, wherein an amount of clutch slippage is based on the transitioning of the scroll valve, the amount of clutch slippage increased as the transitioning of the scroll valve increases. 12. The system of claim 9, wherein the controller includes further instructions for retarding spark ignition timing in response to reducing scroll valve restriction, and advancing spark ignition timing in response to increasing scroll valve restriction, an amount of spark timing adjustment applied increased as the transitioning of the scroll valve increases. 13. The system of claim 9, wherein an amount of clutch slippage is based on the transitioning of the scroll valve, the amount of clutch slippage increased before and during the scroll valve transition. 14. The system of claim 9, wherein the controller includes further instructions for retarding spark ignition timing during the transitioning, an amount of spark retard applied increased as the transitioning of the scroll valve increases. 15. A method for controlling an engine, comprising: direct injecting fuel to cylinders of the engine;transitioning, by adjusting an actuator via a controller with a memory, a restriction in exhaust upstream of only a first scroll and not a second scroll of a multi-scroll exhaust turbine based on an indication of operating conditions from one or more sensors, wherein the first and second scrolls are coupled to a common exhaust manifold coupled to each cylinder of the engine; andadjusting a timing of the transitioning via the controller based on an upcoming transmission shift event. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising adjusting the actuator responsive to pre-ignition. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the adjusting includes, in response to the upcoming transmission shift event, timing the transitioning to at least partially overlap the upcoming transmission shift event. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein the adjusting includes, in response to the upcoming transmission shift event, timing the transitioning to immediately follow the upcoming transmission shift event. 19. The method of claim 16, wherein, in response to a duration between the upcoming transmission shift event and a request for transitioning restriction being smaller than a threshold, timing the transitioning during the upcoming transmission shift event, and, in response to the duration between the upcoming transmission shift event and the request for transitioning restriction being larger than the threshold, timing the transitioning before the upcoming transmission shift event. 20. The method of claim 19, further comprising, during timing the transitioning during the upcoming transmission shift event, increasing clutch slippage and/or adjusting spark retard during the transitioning, the increasing based on the transitioning. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the actuator comprises a scroll valve coupled to the first scroll and where the second scroll is positioned inner to the first scroll, the scroll valve not coupled to the second scroll, and wherein the transitioning restriction in exhaust includes transitioning an opening of the scroll valve.
