For sleep/wake i needed to disable my touchscreen using USBInjectAll.kext and a custom SSDT, Audio i use AppleALC.kext \ Lilu.kext and the appropriate layout id in DSDT, to disable the Nvidia card you need to do that in your DSDT which you can extract with Clover at the boot screen and press F4 which will dump the native files into EFI\CLOVER\ACPI\origin. The boot screen glitch can be lessened \ removed by using IntelGraphicsFixup.kext.
Most of these issues have guides available on this site.

Hey savage001, I fixed lots of issues lately, thanks to RehabMan. Right now I have backlight full brightness on every boot (turns out my NVRAM is not working, custom variable couldn't stayed over a boot), Fn+F4/F5 keys not changing brightness (I need a function discovery for this one), and Sleep/Wake. Since we have similar h/w maybe your solution can be my solution too for Sleep/Wake. Can you share your custom SSDT file that is used by USBInjectAll.kext? If it doesn't work, at least I modify it. Btw, I checked and we have same USB port config as in 2 USB2 on the left side and 1 USB3 on the right side. This could work.
And btw, how did you find out that touch screen is the main issue of Sleep/Wake?
Other minor issues are a lag right after the boot, Screen glitch which I can live with that (I wish there is a way to make it work with UEFI only so it starts at full resolution like real macs instead of fatty {due to the broken aspect ratio} apple logo first, then a glitch and full res clean image) and long boot up and shut down, restart times. I have Kingston HyperX Savage 240 SSD Drive, and in windows everything is really fast. I'll check this after I solve all issues.
And a final question How long does your juice last? With Power Management I got 3 hours, after disabling Nvidia I earn another hour. Now I fixed broadwell issue on power management (idle CPU freq stuck at 1300 MHz), now it's 800 MHz and I'll see how much will that effect the usage.
Cheers!
Hey haimann951, it would be really great if we see you more. Since we have quite similar h/w, that would help me a lot. For instance, if you really get everything working by just doing the things you wrote onto your guide, I wonder if you have any issues like Sleep/Wake (Did you disable the touchscreen too?), brightness and such that the majority have.You can try following my guide here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-macos-on-the-asus-tp500la-broadwell-edition.212252/
It's not quite up to date, but that's because this site is extremely slow for me when logged in to my account.
For the Nvidia GPU, you can follow Rehabmans guide to disable it. His method works, I tried it on my brothers TP550LA, which is slightly different to mine (older cpu and nvidia gpu).
Cheers!
