yeah just get it from carson, if they still have it that is.... coz' ltuned is gone

and don't trust the part number, coz' it's exactly the same as the original one.... very weird

You only need it if your car is 2000 model or older.

If it is you just need the part from the 2001 or Up

99-00 for sure they have old style ecu

and for gs430, it's hard to say coz' there have been cases where people with gs430 put in the ltuned ecu and it still helps

No, you DO need to buy it. It was only mid-2001 and up that seem to have it from factory.
