Methods and systems are provided for reducing turbo lag by directing intake air from an intake manifold to an exhaust manifold. The intake air may be directed via an EGR passage by opening an EGR valve or by may be directed via engine cylinders by increasing positive valve overlap. Amounts of air directed via external EGR and air directed via positive valve overlap are based on engine operating conditions.

1. A method for an engine, comprising: directing intake air from an intake manifold, downstream of a compressor, to an exhaust manifold, upstream of a turbine via each of external EGR and positive valve overlap through a cylinder, wherein amounts of air directed via EGR and air directed via positive
1. A method for an engine, comprising: directing intake air from an intake manifold, downstream of a compressor, to an exhaust manifold, upstream of a turbine via each of external EGR and positive valve overlap through a cylinder, wherein amounts of air directed via EGR and air directed via positive valve overlap are adjusted based on conditions, the adjustments including increasing the amount of air directed via EGR when a valve timing adjustment is outside of a range. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the directing is in response to a tip-in event. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein directing intake air via external EGR includes opening an EGR valve in an EGR passage coupled between the intake manifold, downstream of the compressor, and the exhaust manifold upstream of the turbine. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein directing intake air via positive valve overlap includes adjusting a variable cam timing device to adjust an intake and/or exhaust valve timing of the cylinder from a first valve timing corresponding to no positive valve overlap to a second valve timing corresponding to positive intake valve to exhaust valve overlap. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein adjusting the amounts of air directed via EGR and air directed via positive valve overlap includes, if a change in engine torque corresponding to the variable cam timing device adjustment is higher than a threshold amount, increasing the amount of air directed via external EGR while decreasing the amount of air directed via positive valve overlap. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein adjusting the amounts of air directed via EGR and air directed via positive valve overlap includes, if a difference between the first valve timing and the second valve timing exceeds a threshold, increasing the amount of air directed via external EGR while decreasing the amount of air directed via positive valve overlap. 7. The method of claim 4, wherein adjusting the amounts of air directed via EGR and air directed via positive valve overlap includes, if the second valve timing corresponding to the positive valve overlap exceeds a combustion stability limit, increasing the amount of air directed via external EGR while decreasing the amount of air directed via positive valve overlap. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein increasing the amount of air directed via external EGR includes increasing an opening of the EGR valve, and wherein decreasing the amount of air directed via positive valve overlap includes maintaining valve timing at or before a timing corresponding to the combustion stability limit. 9. The method of claim 4, wherein the directing via positive valve overlap, EGR, or both is performed until a turbine speed reaches a threshold, the method further comprising, after the turbine speed reaches the threshold, closing the EGR valve and resuming the first valve timing. 10. The method of claim 4, wherein adjusting the amounts of air directed via EGR and air directed via positive valve overlap includes, when a difference between intake manifold pressure and exhaust manifold pressure is lower than a threshold, decreasing the amount of air directed via external EGR while increasing the amount of air directed via positive valve overlap. 11. The method of claim 4, wherein adjusting the amounts of air directed via EGR and air directed via positive valve overlap includes, when an exhaust catalyst temperature is higher than a threshold temperature, increasing the amount of air directed via external EGR while decreasing the amount of air directed via positive valve overlap. 12. The method of claim 1, further comprising, during the directing, adjusting a fuel injection amount based on the amounts of air directed via EGR and air directed via positive valve overlap so as to maintain an exhaust air-to-fuel ratio at or around stoichiometry.
