Engine assembly and method for controlling an engine

A method for controlling a two-stroke engine operatively connected to a turbocharger, the turbocharger being in fluid communication with the engine to provide a boost pressure thereto, the method comprising:

• determining an exhaust temperature representative of an actual temperature of exhaust gas being discharged by the engine;
• determining an actual power output of the engine;
• and
• in response to the exhaust temperature being less than a corresponding threshold value by a first value:
• controlling the turbocharger to increase the boost pressure of the turbocharger by a first amount which would cause the engine to output a threshold engine power output;
• in response to the exhaust temperature being less than a corresponding threshold value by a second value, the second value being greater than the first value:
• controlling the turbocharger to increase the boost pressure of the turbocharger by a second amount, greater than the first amount, which would cause the engine to output the threshold engine power output,
• at least one of the first amount of boost pressure and the second amount of boost pressure being determined based on:
• comparing the actual power output of the engine and the corresponding threshold engine power output thereof;
• accessing a predefined dataset;
• and
• retrieving a corrective amount of boost pressure from the predefined dataset based on the exhaust temperature and a throttle position of a throttle valve regulating air flow into the engine.
