Narrative:

At the very beginning of takeoff power application, 1 or maybe 2 very small noises, possibly engine compressor stalls, were noticed. After all engine instruments were checked and determined to be normal takeoff roll was continued. Takeoff and climb out were normal until about 12000 ft when #2 engine began repeated engine compressor stalls and #2 egt rapidly increased to red line. We immediately closed #2 throttle. After a short while #2 throttle was again increased and compressor stall reoccurred. We then performed the engine failure and shutdown checklist, notified the cabin crew, called dispatch, talked to passenger, performed the 1 engine inoperative landing checklist and returned to phx without further incident. An emergency was declared with ATC and emergency vehicles were standing by.
