This is my first manual so I have a simple question that I haven't been able to find through search. So I've been able to rev match well going to 5th, 4th and 3rd well but not to 2nd gear. I'd say I blip it about 700 rpm to get a smooth downshift without lunging forward in the other gears. I've tried a few times rev matching to second and it's a horrible feeling. I want to get a reference how much to blip because I feel that I'm going to wear down my clutch or mess up something before I figure it out.

So how much do you guys blip the throttle when going to 2nd gear (with or without A/C on)?
