I hope this in correct section, please advice if not.
CONDENSED VERSION BETWEEN THE LINES BELOW
First of all I would like to thank everyone who contributes to this site. Both with questions and with answers. I have been part since 2013. I believe Mountain Lion was the first OS I loaded on my first Hack (this build). Without all the questions and answers I would never been able to make this work! Thank You.
I have used the guides on this site to buy 2 Hackintosh hardware and both have been ROCK solid. I know this build is getting a little long in the tooth, but I see it is still used by a few.
I am working on the system 'HackMojave' in my signature.
Dual screen working throughout install and post on ASUS Radeon RX580.
Special thanks to those who have contributed on this one so far.

I usually search / read and rarely start my own thread. After commenting on the thread below I kind of took over and agree with @macnb that I should start my own.

Following the standard guide:

and a guide that refers to my board:

I have a very solid install on Mojave. However it is not quite right. Usually once I get a working build for my needs I move on and use it as needed. I have taken a little more interest in this one and trying to learn and make it as correct as possible.
Following @mickelsn guide, this is the first time I have iCloud / Messages / Facetime working absolutely correctly.
The only issues I had remaining were the QuickLook / Preview issue with jpeg. Loading NOVPAJpeg.kext solved this issue. I struggled a bit trying to get WhateverGreen.kext and NOVPAJpeg.kext loaded. Turns out MultiBeast loaded an earlier version of Lilu.kext wich the later versions of WE & NoVPA were not compatible with.
kextstat
kextload
kextcache
and the app - iojones (now found IORegReporter) helped me troubleshoot that issue.
The remaining issues I am having are as follows.
#1 - I am having trouble getting the machine to boot with the Primary video set to 'PCI' and iGPU set to 'Enabled' in the BIOS. Anytime I set it that way, I get into a boot loop. The machine boots most of the way then stops and reboots. I boot in -v (verbose mode) but it scrolls much too fast for me to see where is stops. When pressing the space bar on the Clover boot screen and looking closer there is an option to 'not reboot after panic'. when the messages stopped I took a picture of the screen. Below is the picture.
#2 - When trying to play the 'Sony Camp Video' it is choppy and stops and continues. My CPU utilization spikes. Obviously it is not utilizing the Radeon RX580 to transcode the video. I have always read about renaming that you must do in the DSDT. I now understand is that WhateverGreen takes care of this. I am thinking however that the problem is related to not being able to set iGPU to 'Enabled' in BIOS. So, as they say, if any question refer back to rule #1.
Thank You @macnb for your modded BIOS and EFI files. Looking closely at those. As you suggested, I also seek to configure my own system w/o other tools. Any guidelines would be appreciated.

Problems remaining:
#1 - Booting with video in BIOS set to:
PRIMARY - PCI
iGPU - Enabled / 512 Mem / DVMT MAX (Intel 4000)
#2 - Getting 'Sony Camp Video' playing smoothly
Looking for guidelines to configure system organically after install (without MultiBeast or possibly even Clover Configurator)
