Would you recomend buying an aftermarket radiator for a turbo vtec SOHC with 10psi?

No need for an aftermarket radiator with 10PSI, you're not going to be continuously putting out much power, so you don't need a lot of heat dissipation. I'm pretty sure the stock radiator is oversized for a SOHC vtec anyway. But yes, if you really feel like you need it, or you actually have cooling problems, a VTEC del sol radiator is a good choice.
You might want to throw in a new fan switch and thermostat though, just in case and because they're really cheap. It's not much use going to a bigger radiator if you have a sticky or bad Tstat, so definitely attend to that first.
