No, not at all. If you have a GTX330 "plain", it is not ADS-B capable anyway. It is not looking for a GPS WAAS position for anything, and doesn't care what GPS/COM you have installed. And I don't believe that non-WAAS devices can be a position source for this, so a 530 or 430 "plain" could not supply the position either for ADS-B out signals.
Bear in mind that has NOTHING to do with the normal operation of a tranpsonder, your Mode S (or Mode C) would continue to work whatever you do with your GPS/COM.
I don't know when they introduced the "free" upgrade on the TAS605's, but regardless it still needs to go to the factory. If you don't have it, it will be about $2000 if you wish to get it. If you get the A upgrade, the TAS will accept both ADS-B out data from other planes, and ADS-R from ground stations to augment the transponder traffic picture it normally sees .
If you have a pair of 540s, a 340 and a TAS605A, you will be fully compliant for ADS-B on 1090 Mhz, and you will receive all the ADS-B TIS-B traffic, that will augment the Mode C traffic that your 605 already sees.
* Orest
