Very large, whatever ID the hole is on the oil drain, the larger the better, I am guessing around 1/2 or so, maybe bigger..

Re:making a drain plug on the turbo.....

I'm running a 5/8 hose to my oil pan. I found the fitting for the oil pan at a car parts store. I showed him the hose and he found me a fitting and o-rings; then I went to Lowe's and found a nut that would thread with it.
