Depends on your pipe now. You want the smoothest flow as possible bigger doesn't hurt.

All s/c compressors; centri, roots, & twin screw have the same problem with it. It has to work harder to pull air than push air. Any bends that can be on the pressure side, should be & the lease amount of bends on the inlet side.
Think about trying to suck throught a small rubber hose, then getting a bigger one & trying to suck through it.
