start the car, turn the esp off, put into M or S mode, foot on brake pedal then rev the car to around 2.5-3k rpm then release the brake pedal and off you go...

You should be able to bury the throttle and it won't rev to max.  If it does rev high then you know you've not quiet got it right.

I would think so yes.  It's not limited to ED30.

If your car does not accelerate to 3200rpm them you know your car doesnt have it.As far as im aware most GTI's do but a few out there dont.
