is it possible to make an animation loop with particles emited by a directional emiter?
(directional force and turblance also applied to the particles)

yep. You need to set the age of the particles to be equal to the time of the sequence. Then, at the last frame use (solvers>initialstate>setforselected) and you'll be looping. (To make it truly seamless, you can't have any animating parameters on your turbulence (excepting a 0-1 on phase y(or x or z), and you'll have to run your sequence a few times after you tweak everything using the same process (intial state>set for selected). But after, it's done!.
