and yes, they work.
18 Simply tightens down into the head, there is no jamnut to use it as a lash adjuster, it is strictly listed as a pivot.
And no they dont work, when you figure out how to get them to stay put let me know, here is a picture of an actual GTIR head with GTIR valvetrain. Sure if you installed regular valves, or valves from another company, and retainers, then at that point the hyd lifter SR shims and guides would work, the GTIR's shims and guides are more of "lash caps" as they are recessed on the bottom and cup the tip of the valve.
