Any chance you can post a picture, as I am thinking of this same setup for my 2012?

I see the EVO bracket won't hold the twin on the 2012. Do you have the large or small compressor and how long does it take to air up your tires. I was looking at the twin hoping to use the EVO bracket, but I guess not.

I have the medium size compressor its not the twin but not the smallest. Its the one that comes with a tire inflation kit. I took my stock 29in tire on my 2011 and aired it down to 5psi and back up to 32psi in about 1 min it works great i will be using this compressor with my 37s as well.

Has anyone come up with a way to mount the ARB Twin in the engine compartment of a 2012?

I just finished installing my ARB twin compressor. I created my own brackets and used existing holes in the seat brackets. It was a really tight fit and I had to angle the compressor a little to clear seat wires (ABS sensors & seat heater). If you notice I also notched the one bracket to clear a bump in the transmission tunnel. See pics below (before I painted the bracket black):
