Complete a leak down & compression test.
The issue could be valve stem seals, piston rings etc.

The tune can't solve mechanical issues. If the car is running too rich, that's one thing. But this issue is strictly mechanical. no programming or tuning can solve your issue.

This is how I remember it...

black smoke=burning too much fuel
blue smoke =burning oil
white smoke =burning coolant
