A gas turbine engine preswirler () includes an outer ring () and an inner ring (). The inner ring () includes a plurality of angled holes (). Each angled hole () follows a vector which is angled in at least one plane. A component of the vector is located on a plane perpendicular a radial from an axis of the preswirler (). The component of the angle is angled relative to an axial direction of the preswirler ().
