What size hose do I need for the oil return line?

I have cut the small 2-1/2" pipe that the turbo oil return line feeds to... I had to slap it all back together to get home a little while back and was wondering if anyone know the hose size off the top of their heads?
Thanks,
Ryker

I cant seem to think which hose your talking about that is OEM. From what i remeber all the oil returns are hard lines.

I used AN-12 line over the front oil return tube; I also flared the end of the tube a little before I attached the hose.
