Narrative:

We were approximately 10 mi northwest of bur heading 130 degrees on radar vectors for runway 15 at burbank level at 5000 ft. We remained IMC and did not acquire the field visually. We then requested vectors for ILS 8. Instructed by ATC to begin right turn to 240 degrees when we received an egpws warning of 'terrain; terrain; pull up.' executed the escape procedure and notified ATC of our situation. Climbing through 5500 ft; we were VFR on top; cleaned up from recovery and leveled at 6100 ft. We were able to maintain VMC so we continued our turn and descended back to 5000 ft MSL. When we informed ATC of our altitude deviation and reason; the controller responded that we were at his MVA.
