Hi Nabs, knowing the 3T-GTEU reasonably well... it sounds to me like you have some damage to your engine.
In particular, while the rest of the engine is quite durable, the 3T-GTEU pistons aren't exactly the stongest & usually break through the ring lands.
Thankfully, this usually doesn't do any damage to the bore of your engine, however, you are going to notice some serious blow-by / rough running / low power.
If you have a broken ring land, you can do all you like with the tune, but it won't fix this (Although, it may have stopped it happening in the first place).
The easiest way to check this, is to do a compression test on your engine, which I would recommend you doing ASAP.
Most likely you will find one (or more) cylinders will be down on compression & you are up for a rebuild.... while you are there, spend the extra & replace the standard pistons with some forged items - well worth it for the 3T-GTEU.
Good luck
