Another update to this thread as there are not many boards with thunderbolt out there...
My thunderbolt is now working perfectly, I am able to connect my Apogee Ensemble via firewire at any time, previously i had to turn it on before booting, or during a restart, and it was hit and miss as to whether or not the software which controls the device would work, usually it wouldn't.
Updating the BIOS to P1.70 helped the device connect reliably, but the software was still an issue.
After I installed the last Nvidia update, i thought id try installing Apogee's driver software following the same instructions I used to install the Nvidia Webdriver. Basically, it is turning SIP on when installing, and off again once the driver was installed.
I tested this with my Apogee software and it wouldn't work with SIP on, so i changed my config.plist file with clover, and restarted with the SIP off and it connected with the software and straight away.
1. ENABLE SIP
If an attempt is made to install the web drivers in High Sierra 10.13 without SIP enabled a warning will popup that the drivers may not install correctly. To prevent that warning from showing and ensuring the web drivers are installed properly we need to enable SIP temporarily.
At this point when you boot into macOS there should be graphical support and no rebooting. If you enabled SIP in config.plist you need to disable it again. Open config.plist in Clover Configurator and change CsrActivateConfig to 0x67

- Open config.plist in clover configurator
- Navigate RT Variables > CsrActivateConfig
- Change CsrActivateConfig to 0x00
- Restart Hackintosh
