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 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.
