Use whatever size hose fits your oil drain fitting. If you dont have an oil drain fitting, get one and select a hose that fits it.

you dont want it to return through oil drain plug into the pan. Not the best idea but it works. you want to turbo to drain above the level of oil in the pan.Otherwise it makes the oil stay up in the turbo and doesnt allow constant flow of oil to lubricate the turbo.
I would have thought a AN6 or AN8 would be good. The stock return hose is about 5/8 or so inch.
