Narrative:
Cleared for ILS 16R approach into vny. Noted 45 knot tailwind at 5;000 ft MSL. Noted again 35 knot tailwind at 3;500 ft MSL. Approach became unstable at 500 AGL due to windshear. Called for go-around. Local controller issued a missed approach clearance. Maintain 2;000 ft for now. Right crosswind 270 degree turn to enter left base 34L. At 2;000 ft MSL; egpws (enhanced ground proximity warning system) issued a 'caution terrain.' initiated a slow climb. Egpws issued a terrain warning. Climbed to 2;980 ft MSL to provide additional terrain clearance. Landed without further event. The lesson I take away from this is as follows: I should have informed the local controller that it was necessary to climb above the initially assigned altitude to provide adequate terrain clearance.
