Given a sequence of polyhedra $Q_{i}$ defined recursively: $Q_{0}$ is a regular tetrahedron with a volume of 8. To generate $Q_{i + 1}$, replace the midpoint triangle of each face of $Q_{i}$ with an outward-pointing regular tetrahedron that has the midpoint triangle as a base. The new tetrahedrons added in each step have a volume of $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^3$ of the tetrahedron from which the midpoint triangle originates. Calculate the volume of $Q_{3}$.
