I've finally got my Razer Blade 15 144hz 2018 and used this guide. Everything went well except couple of things.
1) I kept getting compile errors while doing patching and discovered that that was because of I copied the original files using Finder, then I've tried using cp command and everything went well with patching & compiling.
2) Track-pad support is not the best I can say, it's better handled in Linux and even better in Windows(gosh it's just gorgeous there). But the real problem is when the laptop is on battery power the track-pad is crazy - it's jumping around and precision is awful, can't use it, really. I've tried to delete Voodoo kexts, cleaned k-cache, did ACPI patching again with fresh-generated originals from Clover boot menu and then installing the kexts again, but it just didn't help at all. What might be the cause?
3) Sometimes the OS won't load at all, there is no 'apple-logo-blip' and it keeps loading forever.

The trackpad issue is hit or miss. It's a conflict between the ACPIBatteryManager kext and the FakeSMC kext. If you have the issue do the following: Replace ACPIBatteryManager kext with SMCBatteryManager kext and the FakeSMC kext with VirtualSMC kext.
As far as the last issue, that's the nature of the beast. You'll get that every once in a while. There's no known fix for now, but in all honesty it's not that big of a deal to me and I just haven't put any into figuring it out.
It could be something as simple as updating a kext.
