the airbox isn't full to a certain pressure - so at full throttle the air pressure is lower in the box. less air than possible flows into the pump and the right amount of fuel for the air in injected. but if you got more air, you'd get more fuel and more power.
Liquids (hydrostatic) pressure doesn't vary pressure to the degree that air pressure does under suction. but, it will vary volume and again, the air box won'tbe full.

Yea, what he said!!! And on a side note since we were originally talking about water, grates, and tubes, imagine that if the "pump" were suddenly required to pump at maximum volume there by emptying the reservoir completely and pulling water through the tube. If said tube were pointed at a wall which deflected the flow toward the nearest corner of the greate, even though the primary chamber may be refilling any debris in the water would be trapped primarily in that corner. Which over time would reduce the overall flow. Changing the angle of deflection or removing it completely so that the flow were spread over the entire grate..... Well you get the picture.
