If it doesn't clear itself in about three starting cycles you probably want to go by some place like O'Reilly's and get the OBDII codes pulled. Even then, TCS-related issues can often be cleared just by clearing the codes. Your quick start could have created some differences in your wheel speed that would have turned TCS on. You can turn it off yourself -- assuming you didn't break something or a sensor has failed. Turn your volume down a bit:
There are numerous other things that could be the culprit too...and much more serious/dangerous (low break fluid, bad wiring, broken abs/wheel speed sensors, worn breaks pads, worn break calipers, etc). I've heard that you can sometimes clear a lot of these by turning your key on, turning your steering wheel all the way to the left and then all the way to the right and then back to center and turn your key off. Could just be urban legend but it is quick, easy and free to try -- worth a shot. Start the car and it'll make turning the wheels much easier.
I don't think TCS turns your CEL on so you should get the codes pulled anyway.
Post back if you get it figured out.

Maybe the MAF needs cleaning. Check to see that your air intake looks good, the MAF is plugged in, seated properly and that there are no other air leaks.
But since you said the power is down and you don't hear the turbo you may also have a boost leak. Interesting that you have no TC code.
