Abstract

An internal combustion engine includes a first set of combustion cylinders and a second set of combustion cylinders. A first exhaust manifold is associated with the first set of combustion cylinders, and a second exhaust manifold is associated with the second set of combustion cylinders. A turbocharger includes a turbine which is fluidly coupled exclusively with the first exhaust manifold. An EGR system fluidly interconnects the second exhaust manifold and an intake manifold.
