First I'd like to thank everyone in the tonymacx86's forum. You guys are doing a great job sharing successful experiences and difficulties, as I'll do now. They save some good time!
So, first of all I'll try to keep this thread simple and if you need any extra info I'll be glad to help.
You can take a peek at my EFI folder down below and suit yourself with what's needed for this config to run.
My setup:
What's working:
I won't go too much in detail on how I installed everything, cause this was an update straight from the App Store.
To install the previous version (10.13.4) I just followed the main guide thread. After the system launched, I used the Clover configurator to mount the EFI partition, copy files and modify the /EFI/CLOVER/config.plist (you can always use the terminal as well to mount the EFI: first type diskutil list then diskutil mount disk#s# replacing '#' with the correspondent numbers for the EFI volume).
USB Fix and External Drives icon fix
Audio output fix and BT fix (which isn't working for me, ignore it)
Well, I guess that's it for now. I hope this can be helpful to someone

My setup:
- Dual boot on same SSD: macOS 10.13.6 with Security Update 2018-002 (updated straight from 10.13.4 via App Store) + Windows 10
- i7 8700 Coffee Lake UHD 630 + DeepCool Maelstrom 240T
- Motherboard Gigabyte Z370M D3H (BIOS on version F7) mATX + Realtek ALC892
- 2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance Lpx DDR4
- 250GB Samsung Evo 960 M.2 + 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm
- NVIDIA Zotac GTX 1080 TI
- Dell 27" S2716DG G-SYNC Monitor 144Hz
- TP Link TL-WN881ND (Shitty card, planning to upgrade to a wifi+bt4.1 solution)
- IOGEAR Bluetooth 4.0 USB dongle (model GBU521W6)
- Power Supply EVGA 750W
- Logitech K375s + Razer Deathadder 3.5g
- Chassis Thermaltake View 27
- Clover Configurator (to update the config.plist)
- Clover bootloader v2.4k r4741 (No issues with this version)
- "Webdriver All Versions" (a german app to force a nvidia driver installation, even if incompatible with current OS version)
- WebDriver-387.10.10.10.40.108 (Nvidia driver compatible with the 10.13.6 w/ security update 2018-002)
- Clover Theme Manager (fancy stuff...)
- /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI folder containing these files (you can find them in the attached zip file):
- apfs.efi
- ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi
- AppleImageCodec-64.efi
- AppleKeyAggregator-64.efi
- AppleUITheme-64.efi
- DataHubDxe-64.efi
- FirmwareVolume-64.efi
- FSInject-64.efi
- NvmExpressDxe-64.efi
- OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi
- OsxAptioFix3Drv-64.efi
- SMCHelper-64.efi
- VBoxHfs-64.efi
- /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other folder containing these files (also inside the zip file attached):
- AppleALC.kext
- FakeSMC.kext
- FakeSMC_ACPISensors.kext
- FakeSMC_CPUSensors.kext
- FakeSMC_GPUSensors.kext
- FakeSMC_LPCSensors.kext
- FakeSMC_SMMSensors.kext
- IO80211Family.kext
- IntelMausiEthernet.kext
- Lilu.kext
- WhateverGreen.kext
What's working:
- It boots with no issues (SMBIOS set to iMac18,3)
- All USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports (The MB has one USB-C port, but I don't have a device to test it)
- Nvidia hardware acceleration and apps running smoothly on 144Hz
- G-Sync seems to be working fine (When activated on 10.13.4 it would freeze the system. I didn't try any games on mac yet though. I'll update the thread when I test any.)
- Sound I/O + HDMI and DisplayPort sound using monitor's audio jack
- Ethernet
- iMessage, iCloud, Facetime
- Xcode + Device Simulator
- It sleeps and awakes (with a short delay though)
- Wifi isn't working. Hoping for a fix for TP Link TL-WN881ND (it was working on 10.13.4, with a fix)
- Handoff/Continuity (Besides the wifi adapter, I believe my BT dongle needs some workaround for that to work)
- Because of problem above, Console frequently prints errors coming from wirelessproxd and sharingd
- Whatsapp Web shows some faded box glitches sometimes, nothing terrible. They usually go away.
