SafeChav not true. fluid dynamics ae very complicated, and the resistance to flow depends on the length as well as the cross sectional area, radius of bends, changes in cross sectional area, surface roughness of the pipes and much more

all it will mean though, is that if you want 2 bar boost at the throttle body or plenum or wherever you're going to measure it with your gauge or whatever, the more pressure drop between there and the compressor there is, the harder the compressor has to work.

if you make the compressor work harder, you make the compressed air hotter, which makes your intercooler more work to do.

everything is a compromise though
