Methods and systems are provided for a compressor adapted with a movable sleeve and an active casing treatment that form separate air flow chambers. In one example, a method includes flowing intake air through a casing to an impeller of a compressor, and during first conditions, actuating an actuator to adjust a movable sleeve surrounding the casing from a first position to a second position and flowing intake air through a second chamber to the impeller, the movable sleeve adjusted in both a radial direction and an axial direction via a single actuating motion of the actuator. In this way, compressor surge may be mitigated without reducing compressor efficiency at higher air flow rates.
