Narrative:

Following a go around issued by the tower at san air carrier X being vectored for another approach. We were given a clearance to maintain 5000 ft and complied. While on the downwind portion of our vectors we received a GPWS 'terrain, terrain' and immediately applied full power and climbed to 6500 ft. At the same time we called san approach and advised them of our situation. I asked the MVA and he said 5000 ft, in that area. There is an area on the aera chart showing an elevation of 5000 ft. When I asked a second controller the MVA, he said 7000 ft. There was no conflict with other aircraft.

Title: ACR X GPWS EVASIVE ACTION TAKEN CLB.

Narrative: FOLLOWING A GAR ISSUED BY THE TWR AT SAN ACR X BEING VECTORED FOR ANOTHER APCH. WE WERE GIVEN A CLRNC TO MAINTAIN 5000 FT AND COMPLIED. WHILE ON THE DOWNWIND PORTION OF OUR VECTORS WE RECEIVED A GPWS 'TERRAIN, TERRAIN' AND IMMEDIATELY APPLIED FULL PWR AND CLBED TO 6500 FT. AT THE SAME TIME WE CALLED SAN APCH AND ADVISED THEM OF OUR SIT. I ASKED THE MVA AND HE SAID 5000 FT, IN THAT AREA. THERE IS AN AREA ON THE AERA CHART SHOWING AN ELEVATION OF 5000 FT. WHEN I ASKED A SECOND CTLR THE MVA, HE SAID 7000 FT. THERE WAS NO CONFLICT WITH OTHER ACFT.
