Viggen Engine Trouble

On the highway this morning at 70mph, I accelerated sharply to avoid some road debris being kicked up by another car in another lane.
The engine didn't like that. The turbo started to spool, but then there was a drastic loss of power, engine light, oil light, and just enough engine power to get me moved over three lanes to the shoulder.
I waited a minute and tried to start it. It would start, but ran super rough. Next there was a bad smell, like a catalytic converter sometimes puts out.
No fluid leaks or obvious part failures.
Had it towed and haven't been able to investigate further.
It'll run roughly, but far from driveable.
I was surprised that the SID didn't light up with specific messages or codes. I plan to borrow an engine code reader. What else should I investigate?
Thanks for your replies. It is so nice to have people chime in when you feel so helpless.
