I am not 100% sure but I don't think you can without using a reader.

Most people get the speed limiter removed and the redline increased so you could look at these. Unless there is a tcu program also then it will probably shift at the stock points? otherwise you probably don't want to go over 155mph just to find out.

To load software, the ECU needs to be opened. Given that, check your ECU for signs of being opened. Contact Eurocharged to see if they can help. If you also know the name of the previous owner, they may have a record of doing a tune. EC was the largest (if not the only) supplyer of the 181mm pulleys. You may also be missing some maintenance on the pulley and the software.

I'm pretty sure only Eurocharged/LET Motorsports made a 181 pulley.

I thought you could load software by using eurotune or the remote cable via the diagnostics port? and therefore ecu may still be untouched?

Yes, mine is that way (remote tune by EC). Perhaps original owner purchased the 181 and not the ecu tune?

Good idea and here is a version from the original source. It may be the same. The ECU on US cars is on the driver side. http://www.eurocharged.com/ECU_Removal_Instructions.pdf To the OP, if you need some help and you are close to GW, let me know.
