Firstly, many many thanks to /u/HackinDoge and /u/KazWolfe, without whom I would not have 100% HackBook Pro... thanks guys!
NOTE: I replaced WIFI card with Broadcom BCM943224HMS, for dual-channel goodness. An Atheros 9285 should work. If you want full BT4/Handoff etc., there is a newer Broadcom WIFI/Combo card that works natively with Handoff etc. (not an issue for me, as I do not use BT/Handoff).
This guide should also work with El Capitan, but you WILL NOT GET WORKING USB3.0 with my patched IOUSBFamily.kext... It will take serious hacking to get USB3 working, also ALC AUDIO will require more work to get working...
This is NOT a DUAL-BOOT guide. I am ONLY running Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. If you wish to run Windows too, I suggest you get an ODD->HDD caddy, and install Windows to main HDD first, and then OS X/Clover to Caddy HDD. This is beyond the scope of this guide, but should work... I will be attempting this later in the year.
Grab my EFI copy and SLE Kexts and Kext Utility from here...
Grab the VERY LATEST Clover installer pkg from their page -> http://ift.tt/20DheRP
You will also need MBR Patch from here -> http://ift.tt/1N9Cuwh
Because you are using MBR Boot/Install, you will need to use UniBeast6.1 -> http://ift.tt/1onClsV to create USB stick... It might be possible with createinstallmedia script, but it is more steps... and most things are invisible on the created USB :-/
Create USB using Legacy Boot on GPT formatted USB stick, and then patch the two installer files for MBR. Then remove EFI folder and EFI-backups folder. Install newest Clover ONTO THE USB STICK!!! BE CAREFUL. You will find Clover Configurator very handy, but it is not required for the initial install, as I have supplied the EFI folder and kexts for you... SLE kexts are only for the finished Hard Drive install.
Ensure you have Legacy Boot enabled in BIOS. UEFI BOOT DOES NOT WORK ON THIS LAPTOP FOR NON-WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS... some Linux distros may support secure boot from UEFI.
Replace EFI folder, and after booting into HDD OSX, install kexts from SLE Kexts with my supplied Kext Utility app. (drag kexts onto app).
Restart, and hopefully EVERYTHING EXCEPT CARD READER works OOTB...
HELP: Touchpad works, touchpad enabler/disable key is Prt Sc key. ACPI brightness keys do not work, slider works in pref panel, and dims on battery automatically.
ENJOY!!! Thanks all who helped me get this far!
EXTRA: Going to try latest Rehabman FakeSMC plugins to get some temp/fan info next.
