if I'm not mistaken you'll need the 15mm since the other hoses you'll be connecting to should be approximately that size

well choose whatever one you want. I used 15mm or 1/2" ID for everything for my catch can. I did however when I bought my catch can got both 9mm and 15mm but it also can with an pipe reducer as well. I decided to take out the reducer (for the intercooler connection metal pipe) and just run 1 size
